Jason Isbell - Crystal Clear lyrics

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

Stay away from that place for your own sake

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

Stay away from that place for your own sake

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

Summer went too fast
I think as I lay off the gas
And I roll onto Manny's street
And smell the flames
Big red truck sit's still
And all the water looks surreal
And I think Manny had the
Skill but not the brains

Should've stayed away from that place
Now it's too late

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

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

She should've stayed away from that place
Boy, I'm glad I did

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
