Son Of A Sinner - Jelly Roll | English

I've never been lonely I've got these ghosts to keep me company I took the rearview off this old Ford, so I only see in front of me Now the past is out of sight and out of mind Swore I changed, now I'm back chasing these white lines I'm just a long-haired son of a sinner Searching for new ways I can get gone I'm a pedal to the highway If you ever wonder why we write these songs 'Cause I'm only one drink away from the devil I'm only one call away from home Yeah, I'm somewhere in the middle I guess I'm just a little right and wrong These back roads got me These pills pretend to be my friend And I'm done for the last time I'm lying to myself again I always say that but I'm on my way back there somehow I should know by now I'm just a long-haired son of a sinner Searching for new ways I can get gone I'm a pedal to the highway If you ever wonder why we write these songs 'Cause I'm only one drink away from the devil I'm only one call away from home Yeah, I'm somewhere in the middle I guess I'm just a little right and wrong Mistakes I made, I paid for them in cash Walked a million miles on broken glass I'm feeling like I'm fading My heart's been slowly breaking Might pop a pill, and smoke and maybe drink Talk to God and tell him what I think At first, He's gonna hate me But eventually, He'll save me I'm just a long-haired son of a sinner Searching for new ways I can get gone I'm a pedal to the highway If you ever wonder why we write these songs 'Cause I'm only one drink away from the devil I'm only one call away from home Yeah, I'm somewhere in the middle I guess I'm just a little right and wrong

I roll up to smoke, I started to blow I took me a trip down an old back road And time moves fast, nothing lasts I'm still traumatized by my thoughts of the past In the kitchen you was doing the dishes Starting off with some kissing and then we got down to business Ended up by the stove, my hands around your throat Just the way you like it, baby, you already know Shorty won't let me in (shorty won't let me in), she mental I fucked up again, she 'bout to act up What's that long face for? That's that sad stuff These back roads don't ride like that road where you rode with me You broke my heart a million times, but I won't let it happen You got your space and I got mine, but I won't let it happen Iou, iou, these back roads don't ride like that road where you rode with me Iou, iou, these back roads don't ride like that road where you rode with me So, where do we go from here? When it all used to be so clear You got me facing the things I fear Has it all just disappeared? Been through it, this ain't nothing new to me Spend my time confusing you, got used to you just using me Always back and forth, dealing with each other's scrutiny We did it so ruthlessly, yet it was so beautifully Wish I could take it all back Swear I would do anything to keep that train on the tracks There's so much pain in my chest, thinking of lessons I learned I watched the house go up in flames and I just let that shit burn Shorty won't let me in (shorty won't let me in), she mental I fucked up again, she 'bout to act up What's that long face for? That's that sad stuff These back roads don't ride like that road where you rode with me You broke my heart a million times, but I won't let it happen You got your space and I got mine, but I won't let it happen Iou, iou, these back roads don't ride like that road where you rode with me Iou, iou, these back roads don't ride like that road where you rode with me So, where do we go from here? When it all used to be so clear You got me facing the things I fear Has it all just disappeared?

I thought that night in Vegas The drink I was drinkin' would finally take me I thought I wouldn't make it That my demons would find me with blue lights behind me Thought my time was up more than a time or two The end of me begins with you Somethin' 'bout you has always been dangerous I should run, but here I stand You're the one thing Heaven can't save me from And I'm far past my last chance I was bulletproof, but baby, lovin' you could kill a man Well, I'll go into the darkness We can take the unknown, make it feel like it's home And you know I'll be here regardless (you know, I'll be here) Baby, you got my soul, so to hell with the poems Thought my time was up more than a time or two (oh) But the end of me, it begins with you (oh, begins with you) Somethin' 'bout you has always been dangerous I should run, but here I stand You're the one thing Heaven can't save me from And I'm far past my last chance I was bulletproof, but baby, lovin' you could kill a man Thought my time was up more than a time or two But the end of me begins with you Somethin' 'bout you has always been dangerous I should run, but here I stand You're the one thing Heaven can't save me from And I'm far past my last chance I was bulletproof, but baby, lovin' you could kill a man Yes, it could Lovin' you Could kill a man

I take a moment just to breathe when I'm feeling that stress With my sins on my sleeve, with what heart I have left 'Til I take my last breath, I will battle with the flesh I picked the side for which I ride There ain't no straddle in the fizz (lord, please) I feel the time passing by I can feel the crash coming I been on a manic high Reminisce to cooking packs Changed my life, no looking back The only man I fear is the reflection I'm looking at Only time I'm ever happy is when I'm keeping a buzz I feel a wall around myself and the people I love Lord, protect me from the storm, I feel the thunder again I done prayed before with a pistol under my chin (Lord please) 'Cause I know that I've been living wrong All along, I just didn't wanna be alone Pray for me, 'cause I know that I've been living wrong All along, I just didn't wanna be alone I'm so afraid of me My demons keep chasing me There ain't no saving me I can't get away from me Pray for me 'Cause I know that I've been living wrong I can't get away from me Pray for me I just didn't wanna be alone I can't get away from me I can't get away from me I can't get away from me Still running from the devil, stiletto's on the gas pedal Pain so high that she crying in a falsetto Echos of my last words' louder than her screams Living in a nightmare, I promised her a dream But I promise this ain't her, this is me My life is slipping through my hand, her love's at my feat I beat myself up 'til my eyes swelled shut So I can't see the love and the choice that's in front of me, fuck I feel stuck in a rut, deep pain in my gut I'm an angel to my demons that duck that cup Built a wall around my heart not to hide It's to keep my love safe from what I see inside Pray for me, 'cause I know that I've been living wrong All along, I just didn't wanna be alone Pray for me, 'cause I know that I've been living wrong All along, I just didn't wanna be alone I'm so afraid of me My demons keep chasing me There ain't no saving me I can't get away from me Pray for me 'cause I know that I've been living wrong I can't get away from me Pray for me, I just didn't wanna be alone I can't get away from me I can't get away from me I can't get away from me
