Jason Isbell And The 400 Unit Tour Of Duty lyrics

I'm ridin on the days last train
Steppin on the platform tryin to see you through the rain
I dont know the ways youve changed since I left
And i really dont care
Ive done my tour of duty now im home and i aint goin anywhere
I taught myself to tolerate the pain
All the loneliness and boredom and the work i didnt blame on the work we didnt blame
No im not the same as i was
Ive done my tour of duty
Now ill try to do what ace a million does
I promise not to bore you with my stories
I promise not to scare you with my tears
I never would exaggerate the glory
I'll seem so satisfied here


I been eating like im out on bail
Collard greens and chicken wings oysters by the pail eatin oysters by the pail
Making up for those lost days
Cause ive done my tour of duty
And now im going to put you in my family, wait

We'll laugh like little children tellin secrets
Probably cry like old women drinkin gin
Cause ive done my tour of duty and now im home and i aint leavin here again
Ive done my tour of duty and i aint leavin here again
