The lead single from Jason Isbell’s sixth solo album The Nashville Sound, “Hope The High Road” is a departure (or a return to form, depending on your perspective) for Isbell. Closer to his second and third solo albums, “Hope the High Road” is a deeply political song, but it also an announcement that...
[Verse 1]
I used to think that this was my town
What a stupid thing to think
I hear you're fighting off a breakdown
I myself am on the brink
I used to want to be a real man
I don't know what that even means
Now I just want you in my arms again
And we can search each other's dreams
[Chorus]
I know you're tired
And you ain't sleeping well
Uninspired
And likely mad as hell
But wherever you are
I hope the high road leads you home again
[Verse 2]
I've heard enough of the white man's blues
I've sang enough about myself
So if you're looking for some bad news

But I ain't fighting with you down in a ditch
I'll meet you up here on the road
[Chorus]
I know you're tired
And you ain't sleeping well
Uninspired
And likely mad as hell
But wherever you are
I hope the high road leads you home again
To a world you want to live in
[Bridge]
We'll ride the ship down
Dumping buckets overboard
There can't be more of them than us
There can't be more
[Chorus]
I know you're tired
And you ain't sleeping well
Uninspired
And likely mad as hell
But wherever you are
I hope the high road leads you home again
To a world you want to live in
To a world you want to live in

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Isbell spoke about this song and it’s meaning:
“I really wanted it to be something that was reflective of my own character as it is now. Now that I’m a father, now that I’m grown, now that I’m sober, now that I’m clearheaded.” He hopes the message resonat...
