Danko/manuel Lyrics - Live From Alabama - Jason Isbell & 400 Unit

Let the night air cool you off 

Tilt your head back and try to cough 

Don't say nothing 'bout the things you never saw 

Let the night air cool you off 

I ain't living like I should 

A little rest might do me good 

Got to sinking in the place where I once stood 

Now I ain't living like I should 

Can you hear that singing sounds like gold 

Maybe I can only hear it in my head 

Fifteen years ago they owned that road 

Now it's rolling over us instead 

Richard Manuel is dead 

God forbid you call their bluff 

Like the nightmares ain't enough 

Remember when we used to think that we were tough? 

God forbid you call their bluff 

First they make you out to be 

The only pirate on the sea 

They say Danko would have sounded just like me 

Is that the man you want to be? 

Can you hear that singing sounds like gold 

Maybe I could make it bigger overseas 

Fifteen years ago they owned this road 

Now it only gives us somewhere else to leave 

Something else you can't believe 

Can you hear that singing sounds like gold 

Maybe I can hear poor Richard from the grave 

Singing where to reap and when to sow 

When you've found another home you have to leave 

Something else you can't believe 

Something else you can't believe
