Yvette Lyrics
Jason Isbell Yvette
I can barely make out a little light from the house on the cul-de-sac bedroom upstairs, it's a family affair.
I've watched you in class, your eyes are cut glass and you stay covered up, head to your toe, so nobody will know it was you
I might not be a man yet, but that bastard will never be, so I'm cleaning my Weatherby My sight and my scope and I hope against hope. I hope against hope.
Your mother seems nice, I don't understand why she won't say anything. As if she can't see who he turned out to be.
I might not be a man yet, but your father will never be. so I load up my Weatherby, and I let out my breath, and I couple with death. I couple with death.
Saw your father last night, and in the window the light made a silhouette. Saw him hold you that way, he won't hold you that way anymore, Yvette.
I've watched you in class, your eyes are cut glass and you stay covered up, head to your toe, so nobody will know it was you
I might not be a man yet, but that bastard will never be, so I'm cleaning my Weatherby My sight and my scope and I hope against hope. I hope against hope.
Your mother seems nice, I don't understand why she won't say anything. As if she can't see who he turned out to be.
I might not be a man yet, but your father will never be. so I load up my Weatherby, and I let out my breath, and I couple with death. I couple with death.
Saw your father last night, and in the window the light made a silhouette. Saw him hold you that way, he won't hold you that way anymore, Yvette.
