Crystal Clear Lyrics - Jason Isbell

[Verse 1] 

Daylight's comin' in 

I guess the blanket's gettin' thin 

And every shadow on my skin's a different shade 

There's nobody here 

I heard 'em call it Crystal Clear 

When you get by yourself and you're still wide awake 

[Refrain] 

Stay away from that place 

For your own sake 

[Verse 2] 

Manny's fast and cheap 

His daughter never goes sleep 

She lost thirty-seven pounds in ninety days 

He don't cook that much 

He says he does it for the rush 

As for makin' money, he's got other ways

[Refrain] 

Stay away from that place 

For your own sake 

[Chorus 1] 

Stay away from that place, it ain't about somebody seein' you 

And it really don't matter if he helps you pay the bills 

If they take your kids away, you know you don't need 'em 

If you ever get 'em back, you'll prob'ly get 'em both killed 

[Verse 3] 

Summer went too fast 

I think as I lay off the gas 

And I roll onto [?] Street and smell the flames 

Big red truck sits still 

And all the water looks surreal 

And I think Manny had the skill but not the brains 

[Refrain] 

Should've stayed away from that place 

Now it's too late 

Photos 

[Chorus 2] 

Stay away from that place, it ain't about somebody seein' you 

And it ain't about havin' your name on the Sheriff's list 

Well I told you, one day you'd burn down the whole avenue 

I thought your mama raised you better than this 

[Verse 4] 

Benny's in the ground 

Oh Manny burned that trailer down 

Nobody gave a good goddamn about him or his 

Baby's in the dirt 

She finally fit into that old skirt 

But I guess that don't make much difference after this 

[Refrain] 

She should've stayed away from that place 

Boy, I'm glad I did 

[Chorus 2] 

Stay away from that place, it ain't about somebody seein' you 

And it ain't about havin' your name on the Sheriff's list 

Well I told you, one day you'd burn down the whole avenue 

I thought your mama raised you better than this
