Hurricanes and Hand Grenades Songtext
von Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

I got a glass of wine, I got a cigarette
I should be feeling fine, I ain′t feeling nothing yet
She's leading the second line, feel like I′m in front of it
And I guess I am tonight

I got a cigarette, my glass is empty now
And I got a little white, but I ain't gonna break it out
I need something to let me down when I'm down and out
And I guess I am tonight

Well, she told me I took the best years of her life
And she was only 17
She swore I would leave her, but I didn′t believe her
I called it all a bad dream


I could move on to whiskey now, I got a Lucky left
Go out and hit the town
But this town can hit itself
′Cause my baby's a day away
I′ve got a show to play in Birmingham tonight

There was a time
When she would laugh in my face
Or just sit and judge me silently
I cried on her shoulder
All the things that I told her
Guess I didn't say, didn′t say enough about me

And now hurricanes and hand grenades
They are the only things that get you off my mind
I'm a day away, I′ve got a show to play
In Birmingham tonight

I'm a day away
I've got a show to play in Birmingham tonight

Thank you
