Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - White Man's World lyrics

[Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - White Man's World lyrics]

I'm a white man living in a white man's world
Under our roof is a baby girl
I thought this world could be hers one day
But her momma knew better

I'm a white man living in a white man's town
Want to take a shot of
Cocaine and burn it down
Momma wants to change that Nashville sound
But they're never gonna let her

There's no such thing as someone else's war
Your creature comforts aren't the only
Things worth fighting for
If you're still breathing, it's not too late
We're all carrying one big burden
Sharing one fate

I'm a white man living on
A white man's street
I've got the bones of the


Red man under my feet
The highway runs through their burial grounds
Past the oceans of cotton

I'm a white man looking in a black man's eyes
Wishing I'd never been one of the guys
Who pretended not to hear
Another white man's joke
Oh, the times ain't forgotten

There's no such thing as someone else's war
Your creature comforts aren't the only
Things worth fighting for
You're still breathing, it's not too late
We're all carrying one big burden
Sharing one fate

I'm a white man living in
A white man's nation
I think the man upstairs
Must'a took a vacation
I still have faith, but I don't know why
Maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes
Maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes
