Gravelweed Songtext
von Jason Isbell

I wish that I could be angry
Punch a hole in the wall
Drink a fifth of cheap whiskey
And call and call and call

But that ain′t me anymore, babe
Never was, to tell the truth
I just saw it in a movie and thought
That's what I was supposed to do

I was a gravelweed, and I needed you to raise me
I′m sorry the day came when I felt like I was raised
And now that I live to see my melodies betray me
I'm sorry the love songs all mean different things today


I wish that I could be angry
I wish I didn't understand
I said your skin was like water
And let you flow right through my hands

Is there a love that′s not crazy?
Is there a life that′s not a lie?
All I know is that I had to go
You know why, why, why

I was a gravelweed, and I need you to raise me
You couldn't reach me once I felt like I was raised
And now that I live to see my melodies betray me
I′m sorry the love songs all mean different things today

I was a gravelweed, and I need you to raise me
You couldn't reach me once I felt like I was raised
And now that I live to see my melodies betray me
I′m sorry the love songs all mean different things today
