lirik lagu live oak (live) – jason isbell
[intro]
there’s a man who walks beside me, he is who i used to be
and i wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
and i wonder who she’s pinin’ for on nights i’m not around
could it be the man who did the things i’m living down?
[verse 1]
i was rougher than the timber shippin’ out of fond du lac
when i headed south at seventeen, the sheriff on my back
i’d never held a lover in my arms or in my gaze
so i found another victim every couple days
[verse 2]
but the night i fell in love with her, i made my weaknеss known
through the fighters and the farmеrs diggin’ dusty fields alone
the jealous innuendo of the lonely*hearted men
let me know what kind of country i was sleeping in
[verse 3]
well, you couldn’t stay a loner on the plains before the war
when my neighbors took to slightin’ me, i had to ask what for
rumors of my wickedness had reached our little town
soon she’d heard about the boys i used to hang around
[verse 4]
we’d robbed a great lakes freighter, k!lled a couple men aboard
when i told her, her eyes fl!ckered like the sharp steel of a sword
all the things that she’d suspected, i’d expected her to fear
was the truth that drew her to me when i landed here
[chorus]
there’s a man who walks beside me, he is who i used to be
and i wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
and i wonder who she’s pinin’ for on nights i’m not around
could it be the man who did the things i’m living down?
[instrumental break]
[verse 5]
well, i carved her cross from live oak and her box from shortleaf pine
and buried her so deep, she touched the water table line
i picked up what i needed and i headed south again
to myself i wondered would i ever find another friend
[outro]
and there’s a man who walks beside her, he is who i used to be
and i wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
[interlude]
thank you
