Overseas
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
[Verse 1]
This used to be a ghost town
But even the ghosts got out
And the sound of the highway died
There's ashes in the swimming pool
But I saw you on your wedding night
And I watched you sleeping in my arms
You didn't wash your make-up off
And you woke up looking scared as hell

[Pre-Chorus 1]
My love won't change
My love won't change
My love won't change a thing
You're never coming back to me
You're never coming back at all

[Chorus 1]
And the waiter made a young girl cry
At the table next to mine tonight
And I know you would have brought him to his knees
But you're overseas
[Verse 2]
Doesn't seem so long ago
We thought that we could change their minds
We'd stay here and fight it out
With a love that we could weaponize
But I saw you losing faith
And I was watching when the light went out
You know what revolution means
And you know it's not an option now

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And our love won't change
Our love won't change
Our love won't change a thing
I couldn't leave my father here
To finish up his life alone

[Chorus 2]
And I saw you in our daughter's eyes last night
When she caught me in a lie
And I need you here to make both of us believe
But you're overseas

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 3]
Does your heart rest easy where you are?
And do they treat you like a star?
Or do they call you refugee
From overseas?
