For Jason

I learned not to say much of nothing
So I figure you already know
But in case you don’t or maybe you forgot
I’ll lay it out real nice and slow

Don’t call what you’re wearing an outfit
Don’t ever say your car is broke
Don’t sing with a fake British accent
Boy don’t act like your family’s a joke

Have fun, but stay clear of the needle
Call home on your sister’s birthday
Don’t tell them you’re bigger than Jesus
Don’t give it away

Jason Isbell
