Dress Blues - Jason Isbell[00:00:03]

What can you see from your window [00:00:12]

I can't see anything from mine [00:00:18]

Flags on the side of the highway[00:00:23]

And scripture on grocery store signs [00:00:28]

Maybe eighteen was too early [00:00:34]

Maybe thirty or forty is too [00:00:39]

Did you get your chance to make peace with the man[00:00:45]

Before he sent down his angels for you [00:00:49]

Mamas and grandmamas love you[00:00:56]

'Cause that's all they know how to do [00:01:01]

You never planned on the bombs in the sand[00:01:07]

Or sleeping in your dress blues [00:01:11]

Your wife said this all would be funny[00:01:28]

When you came back home in a week [00:01:34]

You'd turn twenty-two and we'd celebrate you[00:01:39]

In a bar or a tent by the creek [00:01:44]

Your baby would just about be here [00:01:50]

Your very last tour would be up[00:01:55]

But you won't be back They're all dressing in black[00:02:01]

Drinking sweet tea in styrofoam cups [00:02:06]

Mamas and grandmamas love you [00:02:12]

American boys hate to lose [00:02:18]

You never planned on the bombs in the sand[00:02:23]

Or sleeping in your dress blues [00:02:28]

Now the high school gymnasium's ready [00:02:45]

Full of flowers and old legionnaires [00:02:50]

Nobody showed up to protest [00:02:56]

Just sniffle and stare [00:03:01]

But there's red white and blue in the rafters[00:03:06]

And there's silent old men from the corps [00:03:11]

What did they say when they shipped you away[00:03:18]

To fight somebody's Hollywood war [00:03:22]

Nobody here could forget you [00:03:29]

You showed us what we had to lose [00:03:34]

You never planned on the bombs in the sand[00:03:39]

Or sleeping in your dress blues [00:03:44]

No no you never planned on the bombs in the sand[00:03:50]

Or sleeping in your dress blues[00:03:55]
