Jason Isbell - Streetlights lyrics

Where's that angel with dirty knees
Who wasn't hard to please
When we first met?
She don't act like she needs me now and
She don't even seem to be upset
Maybe I cover too much ground
I've been from town to town since I grew up
Could my dreams take up too much space? I'll
Never find a place that's big enough
The chairs go up on the bar now
And the table lights go black
So I order one last double
And start calling people back
Marc sounds good
He's been working hard couldn't punch a
Card to save his life
Says he's glad that he quit the
Road, he says he's getting old
He missed his wife
Little Em's been asleep since nine
I'm sure she's doing fine, she always is
Dad won't answer his phone at night
But I guess that's alright, the place is his
The chairs are up on the bar now
And they're asking me to leave
So I give the girl a bill
And start rolling down my sleeves
In my pocket directions back across the
Railroad tracks to where I crash
Maybe I should wave down a car
I won't be going far, and I have cash
Think I blocked just a park away
But I can't really say, it's been all night
How I wish you would call me
Here, but you just disappeared
It wasn't right
And the streetlights help a little
But they're barely half alive
I don't feel much like walking and
I sure as hell can't drive
Close your eyes and remember this
It won't be back again, it's almost gone
Even times that don't seem like much will
Be your only crutch when you're alone
Time moves slow when you're
Seventeen and then
It picks up steam at twenty-one
Pretty soon you'll remember when you could
Remember when you loved someone
