Biography

(born February 1, 1979) After spending six years with Southern rock outfit Drive-By Truckers, singer/guitarist Jason Isbell left the group in 2007 to pursue a solo career. Isbell had already honed his songwriting skills during his tenure with the Truckers, and he funneled those talents into Sirens of the Ditch, a bluesy, punk-infused lesson in guitar tones and Southern swagger that marked his solo debut in summer 2007. Isbell released his latest album, Foxes In The Snow, in March 2025. He was formerly married to [a=Shonna Tucker] and [a1104134].

LYRICS

Started out like it always starts
Try to hold the hunger back
You don't anticipate a broken heart
Can't see nothing but the track
A diamond earring in a Bowery bed
You kicked your shoes across the floor
You regret the things that went unsaid
Or have you heard it all before?

Eileen, you should've seen this coming sooner
Do I mean to be alone for all my days?
Eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor
But that's your way

It ended like it always ends
Somebody crying on the phone
You tell each other you can still be friends
You both know you're on your own

My own behavior was a shock to me
I never thought I'd have the nerve
I hope you're sleeping through the night, Eileen
I hope they're grading on the curve

Eileen, you should've seen this coming sooner
Do I mean to be alone for all my days?
Eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor
But that's your way
That's your way

Somebody broke my heart once
And I was useless for a week
I didn't leave my apartment
I didn't eat, I didn't speak
But then I found the letter she wrote
Against the wall behind the bed
It said, "Forever is a dead man's joke"
And that's the only thing it said

Eileen, you should've seen this coming sooner
Do I mean to be alone for all my days?
Eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor
But that's your way
That's your way
