Ripped from the Headlines: "Save the World" references a school shooting where "the cops just let them die"—most likely either the one in Parkland, Florida, or in Uvalde, Texas.

Deep South
 Jason Isbell (Music) / int_21718ffc
comment
Deep South: Grew up in it, and loves to write songs about it. These songs are usually pretty sympathetic to the area's residents, but pull no punches about its darker side. Specifically, "Decoration Day" and "Alabama Pines" make reference to life in Alabama, "Palmetto Rose" is about Charleston, South Carolina, and "Cover Me Up" and "White Man's World" are "set" in or near Nashville. "Dress Blues" is more vague, but the line about "sweet tea in Styrofoam cups" still places it firmly in the South. It was written specifically in memory of Matthew Conley, from the same Alabama county as Jason.

Potty Emergency
 Jason Isbell (Music) / int_2cc5703c
comment
Potty Emergency: Leave it to Jason Isbell to have this trope Played for Drama - in "King of Oklahoma" the source of the narrator's troubles is because he fell trying to relive himself on a ladder. This starts a chain of events that leads to addiction, losing his job from being too weak to work, a bitter divorce, and culminates in a heist of copper pipes that someone pulls off before he could get to the construction site, leaving the narrator with nothing but his truck to his name.

Armor-Piercing Response: Amanda Shires supposedly gave him one while they were watching The Theory of Everything.

She answered "When we met, you did have only a few years to live."
