Alabama Pines Lyrics - Here We Rest - Jason Isbell

Well, I moved into this room 

If you could call it that, a week ago 

I never do what I'm supposed to do 

Hardly even know my name anymore 

When no one calls it out, it kind of vanishes away 

And I can't get to sleep at night 

The parking lot's so loud and bright 

The A/C hasn't worked in twenty years 

Probably never made a single person cold 

But I can't say the same for me, I've done it many times 

Somebody take me home 

Through those Alabama pines 

You can't drive through Talladega 

On a weekend in October 

Head up north to Jacksonville, cut around and over 

Watch you're speed in Boiling Springs 

They ain't got a thing to do, they'll get you every time

Somebody take me home 

Through those Alabama pines 

Somebody take me home 

Through those Alabama pines 

If we pass through on a Sunday 

Better make a stop at Wayne's 

It's the only open liquor store north 

And I can't stand the pain of being by myself 

Without a little help on a Sunday afternoon 

Well, I needed that damn woman 

Like a dream needs gasoline 

And I tried to be some ancient kind of man 

One that's never seen the beauty in the world 

But I tried to chase it down, tried to make the whole thing mine 

Somebody take me home 

Through those Alabama pines 

Somebody take me home 

Through those Alabama pines

I've been stuck here in this town 

If you could call it that, a year or two 

I never do what I'm supposed to do 

I don't even need a name anymore 

When no one calls it out, it kind of vanishes away 

No one gives a damn 

About the things I give a damn about 

The liberties that we can't do without 

Seem to disappear like ghosts in the air 

When we don't even care, it truly vanishes away
