Jason Isbell - The Assassin Lyrics
I used to be a killer, best killer in the land
Killed women and children just as easy as a man
I rolled their mangled bodies nonchalantly out the door
But now I've lost my taste for killin' anymore
I never had to nine-to-five or cheat or steal or rob
Just load up my guns and leave 'em on the floor
But I ain't got the stomach for killing anymore
Somethin' must be done
But I've done all that I can do
What good is an assassin
Who just can't follow through?
She took me in her arms when no one else would have me
Taught me how to shoot so straight without a moment's [?]
She was the most beautiful thing that I have ever killed
Somethin' must be done
But I've done all that I can do
What good is an assassin
Who just can't follow through?
Somethin' must be done
But I've done all that I can do
What good is an assassin
Who just can't follow through?
Who just can't follow through

Jason Isbell The Assassin Comments
I need some tabs.
Patterson Hood wrote the song which helps explain why it sounds like a DBT song. Much of this record could have fit in with DBT
Yeah but Patterson wrote it many years before for his first solo album and it sounds nothing like dbt. Jason played it while he was in dbt and I'm pretty sure all the musicians on Jason's debut solo album are the truckers
@Jo Mcmurtry yeah truckers and hood's dad
Sounds like a drive-by tune
Kind of a Warren Zevon feel to it...
