Jason Isbell - Flagship lyrics

There's a few too many years on this hotel
She used to be a beauty you can tell
The lights down in the lobby they don't shine
They just flicker while the elevator whines
And the couple in the corner of the bar
Have traveled light and clearly traveled far
She's got nothing left to
Learn about his heart
They're sitting there a thousand miles apart

Baby let's not ever get that way
I'll say whatever words I need to say
I'll throw rocks at your
Window from the street
And we'll call ourselves the
Flagship of the fleet

There's a lady shining shoes up by the door
And cowboy boots for seven dollars more
And I remember how you loved
To see them shine
So I run upstairs and get a pair of mine
And there's a painting on the
Wall beside the bed
The watercolor sky at Hilton Head
Then I see you in that summer when we met
And that boy you left in
Tears in his Corvette

Baby let's not ever get that way
I'll drive you to the ocean every day
We'll stay up in the presidential suite
And call ourselves the flagship of the fleet
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh

You gotta try to keep yourself naive
In spite of all the evidence believed
And volunteer to lose touch with the world
And focus on one solitary girl

Baby let's not live to see it fade
I'll cancel all the plans I've ever made
I'll drive and you can ride in the back seat
We'll call ourselves the flagship
Of the fleet oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
