The Blue lyrics
by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
[Verse 1]
Don't roll away that stone, girl, leave it where it lay
You think he's coming home, but you know it's not today
I think the road will break me and never fill the holes
But every time I'm saved, I stop beating out a soul
[Chorus]
And I'm too scared to ask the right questions
Too tired to fill the right shoes
So I'll take advantage of the blues
Oh, I'll take advantage of the blue
[Verse 2]
There really ain't no difference in Michigan and Maine
If you ain't here to see this, I'm missing just the same
Your skin as soft as water, same temperature as me
I'd never know I touched you if you didn't let me see
[Chorus]
And I'd crawl to meet you, if you'd just stay there
And finally have a thing I couldn't bear to lose
For now, I'll take advantage of the blues
Oh, I'll take advantage of the blue
[Outro]
Mark me up, so they can see the best of me
And hold me down when I can't find a drink
Dance, so I don't have to think
Dance, so I don't have to think
Please dance, so I don't have to think
