Kudzu Wild
03:28

Oh, Lilly
She was a beautiful thing
The kind of beauty you only see once
And the kind of beauty to blind like the sun
Oh, Lilly
She was always young
The kind of youth you only feel once
Thirty six and a half laps the sun
Oh, Me
I was the uglier kind
The kind to only ever catch a blue moon stare
And the kind to never even have the mind to care
Oh, Me
See I was always old
The kind of life where you were never a child
Never really once free but kudzu wild
She said you’re taking yourself too seriously
And that’s a big talk coming from the beauty queen
She laughed real quick and with a slap in the face
Said life’s not a joke its a goddamn maze
Oh, Lilly
She was one with the words
They were the kind you’d need to hear but they were always late
Yeah she’d read you like a book and then she’d throw you away
Oh, Lilly
She was clever as hell
The turn of a phrase came easy for her
She was in love with all the ways you could abuse a word
Oh, Me
I wasn’t alright
I ran too fast, too far, too long
Ran right out of my head and into a song
Oh, Me
Down at the end my rope
Lilly showed up just to cut me down
Said now what would you do if I ever left town
She said you’re taking yourself too seriously
And that’s a big talk coming from the beauty queen
She laughed real quick and with a slap in the face
Said life’s not a game its a goddamn maze
Oh, Lilly she was a beautiful thing

Love's Song
04:27
|
|||
|
Home was a joke but it wasn’t worth a laugh
Love’s heart was broken and the times were bad
She felt just like a ghost in the back of the class
Her dead-eyed stares through the window glass
Its a whole lot of hurt for a green eyed girl
With her and only her and up against the world
Her school yard dreams and her bouncing curls
She liked taking off her necklace just to count the pearls
Every other corner could’ve been third base
Like she’s almost home and it’s almost safe
It’s a memory so sweet she could almost taste
Before she bit down something pulled it away
I don’t know why but it’s the feeling I’d find
Like maybe God really left Love behind
I don’t know why but it’s the feeling I’d find
Like maybe God really left Love behind
High school hits a little harder than that
It gives every other girl another reason to laugh
Love felt just like a joke in the back of the class
The time moved slow and the notes got passed
It’s a whole lot of hurt for a lonelier child
I was always busy wishing I could see her smile
Those whitewashed walls and the unswept tiles
Twenty minutes on the bus felt like a hundred miles
Now in every other corner I can see her face
In a home room class day after picture day
They’re all still talking like they’ve anything to say
She left us all thinking it was us in the way
I don’t know why but it’s the feeling I’d find
Like maybe God really left Love behind
I don’t know why but it’s the feeling I’d find
Like maybe God really left Love behind
I don’t know why but it’s the feeling I’d find
Like maybe God really left Love behind
Maybe God really left Love behind

Big Black Cloud
02:25

There’s a big black cloud, follows me around
I run from the lightning, I run from the sound of that
Big black cloud keeps raining it down on me
That was two longs years and a lifetime ago
I was way too scared I was gettin' close
Here I am now, that was way back when
I was a younger man, no real plans
Then I leveled up on a couple of songs
I sing ‘em every night and their singing along
They say a big black cloud, follows me around
I run from the lightning, I run from the sound of that
Big black cloud keeps raining it down on me
And it’s all day long and it’s all night too
I stay locked inside, it’s all I can do
You know it’s better in here than it is out there
‘Cause in here it’s only me that ever has to care
I’ll show my face when the coast is clear
I’m always keeping the pace but it’s always near
That big black cloud, follows me around
I run from the lightning, I run from the sound of that
Big black cloud keeps raining it down on me
See if I care, just keep raining it down on me
See if I care, just keep ringing it down on me
They say a big black cloud, follows me around
I run from the lightning, I run from the sound of that
Big black cloud keeps raining it down on me

Through the Motions
03:13
|

|
We go through the motions
We go way too deep sometimes
It’s a river, it’s an ocean
Always raging in my mind
We might just be broken
Hell yeah, we might just be fine
But I’d be yours for the taking If you say you’ll be mine
All this space between us
We never learned to fill
Ain’t a song that they could sing us
There ain’t a bridge we couldn’t build
All these times between us
We stood tall and we stood still
There ain’t a book that they could bring us
There ain’t a heart we haven’t spilled
Haven’t spilled
We go through the motions
We go way too deep sometimes
It’s a river, it’s an ocean
Always raging in my mind
We might just be broken
Hell yeah, we might just be fine
But I’d be yours for the taking
If you say you’ll be mine
We’re the part you close your eyes for
We’re the best there’s ever been
You’re the one I swore I’d die for
I’m the one who took your hand
I took your hand
We go through the motions
We go way too deep sometimes
It’s a river, it’s an ocean
Always raging in my mind
We might just be broken
Aw Hell, we might just be fine
But I’d be yours for the taking
I’d be yours for the taking If you say you’ll be mine

Evergreen Eyes

Evergreen eyes, you’re telling me lies
Never felt such a low to be quiet so high
Evergreen eyes, don’t sever these ties
You never do know, we never know why
You won’t change the shape
I’m in You won’t change the way I see
I told you once I’ll say it again
Everything changes but me
Everything changes but me
Evergreen eyes, is it water or wine
Our cup ain’t half empty its teeming with lies
Evergreen eyes, I’ve toed every line
You’ll lose me to the lonely with such company in mind
You won’t change the shape
I’m in You won’t change the way I see
I told you once I’ll say it again
Everything changes but me
Everything changes but me
Evergreen eyes, you’re telling me lies

Live at the Tabernacle - Atlanta, GA - 12/19/2021
by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
supported by 9 fans who also own “Kudzu Wild EP”
I went to the Friday gig during this 4-night run at The Tab. We had a great time - the show was sublime and down-and-dirty and the same time. From listening to this album, it seems that the Sunday show was on an even higher level. Kevn Kinney is awesome.
