White Man's World....

seems it could have gone here or BBQ but I really think Isbell could be the best songwriter we have out there. He just made this single public for their upcoming release:

[Verse 1]

I'm a white man living in a white man's world

Under our roof is a baby girl

I thought this world could be her's one day

But her momma knew better

[Verse 2]

I'm a white man living in a white man's town

Want to take a shot of cocaine a burn it down

Momma wants to change that Nashville sound

But they're never gonna let her

[Chorus]

There's no such thing as someone else's war

Your creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting for

You're still breathing it's not too late

We're all carrying one big burden, sharing one fate

[Verse 3]

I'm a white man living on a white man's street

I've got the bones of the red man under my feet

The highway runs through the burial grounds

Past the oceans of cotton

[Verse 4]

I'm a white man looking in a black man's eyes

Wishing I'd never been one of the guys

We pretended not to hear another white man's joke

Oh, times haven't forgotten



[Chorus]

There's no such thing as someone else's war

Your creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting for

You're still breathing it's not too late

We're all carrying one big burden, sharing one fate

[Verse 5]

I'm a white man living in a white man's nation

I think the man upstairs must have took a vacation

I still have faith, but I don't know why

Maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes

Maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes

Never heard this take before. Glad someone finally had the guts to bring it up. So brave and honest.
 
I liked Isbells last single. He wrote some good songs while he was with Drive By Truckers. I'm not a big fan of southern rock but that's an underrated band.
