Only Children

作曲 : Jason Isbell

Walking around at night

Fighting my appetite

Every kid in cutoffs could be you

Remember when we used to meet

At the bottom of Mobile street

And do what the broken people do?

And are you still taking notes ?

The Holy Ghost could get inside you

You'd do whatever you put your mind to

Will you read me what you wrote?

When we were locked outside the building

Over-encoureged only children

Cold coffee on the fire escape

Bet it all on a demo tape

When we still had something left to steal

Remember when we took too much

to get a little of the human touch

Hand to mouth reel to reel

And are you still taking notes ?

Hydrocodone in your backpack

Maybe these words will hold the beast back

will you read me what you wrote

The one I said you stole from Dylan

Over-encoureged only children

Heaven's wasted on the dead

That's what your mama said

When the hearse was idling in the parking lot

She said you thought the world of me

And you were glad to see

They finally let me be an astronaut

Are you still taking notes?

Will you have anyone to talk to

Castle walls that you can walk through

Do the dead believe in ghosts?

Or are you lost in some old building

With Over-encoureged only children
