Jason Isbell The Magician Lyrics

The Magician Lyrics

You watch every move

And call it slide of hand

You know, it's what I do

But never who I am, never who I am



Started on the street

With cards and dollar bills

Shuffling my feet

But never could be still, never could be still



And I am an orphan man but ain't we all?

I can make myself disappear

I am an orphan man but ain't we all?

And I know somewhere worse than here



I had a bride, I sawed her in half

Couple people cried

Most of them just laughed

Most of them just laughed



Well, I had a son

Strong of hand and will

I taught him how to run

But never how to steal, never how to steal



And I am an orphan man but ain't we all?

And I can make myself reappear

I am an orphan man but ain't we all?

And I could be somewhere worse than here



I was called amazing

And I make folks believe

With nothing in my pockets

And nothing up my sleeve, yeah



I am an orphan man but ain't we all?

I can make myself disappear

I am an orphan man but ain't we all?

And I know there's somewhere worse than here

Worse than here, worse than here
