"This Ain't It" lyrics

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit Lyrics

"This Ain't It"

Baby, how'd you end up here
In a Texas town
In a wedding gown
With a near beer?

Baby, how'd it go so wrong
And you don't belong?
But I bet they all think you're sincere

I've know you since your eyes were blue
I'd die before I'd lie to you
And this ain't it, baby
This ain't it, baby
Lord knows I like to roll the dice
And I don't give the best advice
And this ain't it, baby
This ain't it, baby

Remember when you fell so hard
You were seventeen
He was a libertine
With a black card

Remember how it fucked you up
You were acting tough
With a fake ID in the Crow Bar

I've know you for your whole damn life
You're more than just some rich man's wife
And this ain't it, baby
This ain't it, baby
You know that there'd be hell to pay
If your mama was alive today
And this ain't it, baby
This ain't it, baby

Baby, let me take you home
You'll love the place
I got extra space
And I stay gone
Tell him what's on your heart
And the hardest part
Will be looking away from his cell phone

I ain't always been around
I build you up and let you down
But this ain't it, baby
This ain't it, baby
I've know you since your eyes were blue
I'd die before I'd lie to you
But this ain't it, baby
This ain't it, baby

Baby, how'd you end up here?
Oh, baby, how'd you end up here?
Oh, baby, how'd you end up here?
Oh, baby, how'd you end up here?
Baby, how'd you end up here?

Oh, baby, how'd you end up here?
Oh, baby, how'd you end up here?
Oh, baby, how'd you end up here?
