letra de new south wales (live) - jason isbell

[verse 1]
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
here we sit
singing words n0body taught us
drinking fire and spitting sawdust
trying to teach ourselves to breathe
we haven’t yet
but every chorus brings us closer
every flyer and еvery poster
gives a piеce of what we need

[chorus]
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

[verse 2]
morning’s rough
it don’t give a d-mn about the mission
has no aesthetic or tradition
only lessons never learned
i’d had enough
about a month ago tomorrow
parting holds no trace of sorrow
for the bitter and the burn
[chorus]
and the p-ss they call tequila, even waylon wouldn’t drink
well, i’d rather sip this listerine i packed
but i swear i’ve never seen a better place to sit and think
god bless the busted boat that brings us back

[instrumental break]

[post-chorus]
god bless the busted boat that brings us back

[interlude]
thank you
that song there was about a trip to australia, my first trip to australia (yeah)
i’ll tell you something about australia, it’s a long way from central america
it’s not, though, it’s not a long way from, like, thailand
so sometimes when you get to australia
if you’re the kind of person who makes terrible decisions like i was the first time i went to australia
you ask for one drug that came from central america and they don’t have that
they got a completely different drug that came from thailand
just take my advice and don’t do that instead
that’s not the same thing, i don’t care what they say
they’re not the same thing
