Speed Trap Town Lyrics - Something More Than Free - Jason Isbell

She said it's none of my business but it breaks my heart 

Dropped a dozen cheap roses in my shopping cart 

Made it out to the truck without breaking down 

Everybody knows you in a speed trap town 

It's a thursday night but theres a highschool game 

Sneak a bottle up the bleachers and forget my name 

These 5a bastards run a shallow cross 

It's a boys last dream and a man's first loss 

And it never did occur to me to leave til tonight 

There's no one left to ask if i'm alright 

I'll sleep untill im straight enough to drive 

and decide 

if there's anything that can't be left behind. 

The doctor said daddy wouldn't make it a year 

but the holidays are over and he's still here 

How long can they keep you in the I.C.U 

Veins through the skin like a faded tattoo. 

Was a tough state trooper til' a decade back 

When that girl who wasn't momma caused his heart attack 

He didn't care about us when he was walkin around 

Just pullin' women over in a speed trap town 

But it never did occur to me to leave 

Til Tonight 

When I realised he'll never be alright 

Sign my name and say my last goodbye 

and decide 

There's nothin' here that can't be left behind 

Road got blurry when the sun came up 

So I slept a couple hours in the pickup truck 

Drank a cup of coffee by an Indian man 

A thousand miles away from that speed trap town 

A thousand miles away from that speed trap town.
