New South Wales Lyrics - Southeastern - Jason Isbell

Here we sit 

Across the table from each other 

A thousand miles from both our mothers, 

Barely old enough to rust 

Here we sit 

Pretending both our hearts are anchors 

Taking candy from these strangers 

Amidst the diesel and the dust 

And here we sit 

Singing words nobody taught us 

Drinking fire, and spitting sawdust, 

Trying to teach ourselves to breathe 

We haven't yet, 

But every brings us closer 

Every flyer and every poster 

Gives a piece of what we need

Every Lyric From Shawn Mendes' Self-Titled New Album 

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

And the sand that they call cocaine cost you twice as much as gold 

You'd be better off to drink your coffee black 

But I swear, the land it listened to the stories that we told 

God bless the busted boat that brings us back 

Morning's rough 

It don't give a damn about the mission 

Has no aesthetic or tradition, 

Only lessons never learned 

And I'd had enough 

About a month ago tomorrow 

Parting holds no trace of sorrow 

For the bitter and the burned 

And the piss they call tequila even Waylon wouldn't drink 

Well I'd rather sip this Listerine I packed 

But I swear, we've never seen a better place to sit and think 

God bless the busted ship that brings us back 

Photos 

And the sand that they call cocaine cost you twice as much as gold 

You'd be better off to drink your coffee black 

But I swear, the land it listened to the stories that we told 

God bless the busted boat that brings us back
