Dreamsicle - Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit

I guess we’re leaving town again

We’re moving out and moving in

Gotta break the news to all my friends

But they won’t care

They’ll just find another face

To fall behind, to take my place

To run way out past second base

And just stand there

A dreamsicle on a summer night

In a folding lawn chair

Witches ring around the moon

Better get home soon

Poison oak to poison ivy

Dirty jokes that blew right by me

Mama curling up beside me

Crying to herself

Why can’t Daddy just come home?

Forget whatever he did wrong

He’s in a hotel all alone

And we need help

A dreamsicle on a summer night

In a folding lawn chair

I’m still packing up my room

Gotta get home soon

New sneakers on a high school court

And you swore you’d be there

My heart breaking through the springtime

Breaking in June

Broken glass and broken vows

I’ll be 18 four years from now

With different friends in a different town

I’ll finally be free

Call you both some holiday

Tell you why I moved away

Say, «Everything's gonna be okay

You can come see me.»

A dreamsicle on a summer night

In a folding lawn chair

Daddy’s howling at the moon

Better get home soon

Heat lightning in the evening sky

And my mama’s red hair

Hearts breaking through the springtime

Breaking in June

Breaking in June

Breaking in June
