Alabama Pines Lyrics by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

Here We Rest

2011

[Verse 1]
Well, I moved into this room
If you could call it that, a week ago
I never do what I'm supposed to do
Hardly even know my name anymore
When no one calls it out, it kinda vanishes away
[Verse 2]
I can't get to sleep at night
The parking lot's so loud and bright
The A/C hasn't worked in twenty years
Probably never made a single person cold
But I can't say the same for me, I've done it many times
[Chorus]
Somebody take me home
Through those Alabama pines
[Verse 3]
You can't drive through Talladega
On a weekend in October
Just head up north to Jacksonville, cut around and over
Watch your speed in Boiling Springs
They ain't got a thing to do, they'll get you every time
[Chorus]
Somebody take me home
Through those Alabama pines
Somebody take me home
Through those Alabama pines
[Verse 4]
If we pass through on a Sunday
Better make a stop at Wayne's
It's the only open liquor store north
And I can't stand the pain
Of being by myself without a little help on a Sunday afternoon
[Verse 5]
Well, I needed that damn woman like a dream needs gasoline
And I tried to be some ancient kind of man
One that's never seen the beauty in the world
But I tried to chase it down
Tried to make the whole thing mine
[Chorus]
Somebody take me home
Through those Alabama pines
Somebody take me home
Through those Alabama pines
[Verse 6]
I've been stuck here in this town
If you could call it that, a year or two
I never do what I'm supposed to do
I don't even need a name anymore
When no one calls it out, it kinda vanishes away
[Outro]
No one gives a damn about the things I give a damn about
The liberties that we can't do without
Seem to disappear like ghosts in the air
When we don't even care, it truly vanishes away
