Jason Isbell - Ride to Robert's Lyrics

Everything's green right now
Tennessee at the end of June
You get a day to come down
We'll ride to Robert's in the afternoon

Before the room gets packed
We'll claim a table at the upstairs bar
Count the cowboy hats
Bachelorettes that don't know where they are

And I don't say things that I don't mean
You're the best thing I've ever seen
You can have my money if you spend your own
Well, I'm still running, but I'm not alone

We all get lost out here
The deepest ditches line the righteous path
God said, "Hold my beer"
And he made a man so He could watch and laugh

Everything's good these days
We'll ride to Robert's on a Friday night
And hear Don Kelley play
And I'll catch you dreaming in the neon light

'Cause I don't say things that I don't mean
You're the best thing I've ever seen
You can have my closet and my herringbone
Well, I ain't lost yet, I'm headed home

Everything's green right now
Tennessee is looking after you
You get a year to come down
I'll put an easel in the empty room

You can dream all day
Ride to Robert's when we crave a steel
Find some peace that way
And give your heart a little time to heal

And I don't say things that I don't mean
You're the best thing I've ever seen
You can have my closet for your fancy shoes
Well, I ain't lost yet, so much to lose
