However Long Lyrics & Tabs by Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit
However Long
guitar chords lyrics
See the man with the military mind
Trying to make us all afraid all the time
Trying to make us all stay inside
And lock our doors and windows.
See the man who's got too much to count
Try to recollect the Sermon on the Mount
"Blessed are the poor, when they're all
Swinging from the gallows"
But I ain't afraid no more
I ain't afraid no more
I ain't afraid no more,
No I ain't afraid...
Cuz however long the night
The dawn will break again
And we'll be around when you have lost your oldest friend.
There's nuthin' you can do or say to us
To drown out this Amen
However long the night
The dawn will break again.
See the poet with nuthin' left to say
Starin down at blank pages all the day
Let the alcohol take you away
And sleep the way that fools do
See the beast with the gasoline hand
Breathing fire, drawing lines in the sand
Pray we find ourselves a better plan
or die the way we used to
But I ain't afraid no more
I ain't afraid no more
I ain't afraid no more
I ain't afraid
Cuz However long the night,
the dawn will break again
We'll be around when they have found your next of kin
There's nuthin' you can do or say to us
To drown out this Amen
'Cause however long the night,
The dawn will break again
See the woman with the roses in her hair
Bring me lovin' when it's too much bear
Tell me I can make a difference this time
All I gotta do is make it all rhyme
However long the night,
The dawn will break again
We'll be around when they have found your next of kin
There's nothing you can do or say to us
To drown out this amen
'Cause however long the night,
The dawn will break again
It'll break again
