Different Days Lyrics - Southeastern - Jason Isbell

Staring at the picture of the runaways on the wall 

Seems like these day you couldn't run away at all 

And even if you did, what you got to run away to 

Just another drunk daddy with a white man's point of view 

I can see you in my mind's eye catching light 

Sleep beside the river if we make it out of town tonight 

You've been stripping Portland since the day you turned 16 

You got one thing to sell benzodiazepine 

Ten years ago I might have seen you dancing in a different light 

And offered up my help in different way 

But those were different days 

Those were different days

Every Lyric From Keith Urban's New Album 'Graffiti U' 

Had a girl back home and we shared as single bed 

When I whispered in her ear she believed every word I said 

And if she didn't believe she didn't dare give me slack 

Or It was "baby I love you, get off of my God damn back" 

Time went by and I left and I left again 

Jesus loves a sinner but the highway love a sin 

My daddy told me I believe he told me true 

That the right things always the hardest thing to do 

Ten years ago I might stuck around for another night 

And user her in a thousand different ways 

But those were different days 

Those were different days 

And the stories only mine to live and die with 

And the answers only mine to come across 

But the ghost that I got scared and I got high with 

Look a little lost 

Photos 

Ten years ago I might thought I didn't have the right 

To say the things an outlaw wouldn't say 

But those were different days 

Those were different days 

Those were different days
