new orleans - jelly roll & struggle jennings lyrics

[verse 1: jelly roll]
i was out here playin’ devilish games
so it’s only right i ended up set up in flames
i’m a grown man so i’ll never complain
i’m addicted to pain and bein’ left in the rain
i just sit and think about what i never became
i pray everyday that i’m ready to change
they say once it’s bad that it’s never the same
it’s like my car broke down on memory lane
i can’t wait ’til i face all the critics
that ain’t never had to face the decisions that i had
to know if they had made the same ones shut the f-ck up
you don’t get paid to hate for a livin’
it’s so easy to point your finger and judge
hop in the pig pen and get to swingin’ the mud
everything that we was, everything we’ve become
every war that we won, everything that i’ve done
ha, lord can you hear my prayer
it’s somethin’ ’bout the city i can feel i swear
i’m on my way god ’cause you’re really there
alabama to mississippi, now i’m almost there
before i felt your presence i was almost scared
a trade with the devil i was almost shared
now i’m headed to the delta where no one cares
where our souls are buried and loneliness is shared

[chorus: jelly roll]
in the darkness where the heartless and demons scream
been tryin’ to come clean, but it ain’t what it seems
i found a nightmare in my dreams, down in new orleans
the darkness where the heartless and demons scream
been tryin’ to come clean, but it ain’t what it seems
i found a nightmare in my dreams, down in new orleans

[verse 2: struggle jennings]
heard a rumor they was comin’ for me
saw a glimpse into the future i was smilin’ countin’ blood money
walkin’ down the dark alley street lights fl!ckerin’
everything around me seemed so different
figurin’ i must be lost, bad feelin’ in my gut i gotta dust it off
i got a chip on my shoulder better brush it off
i keep reachin’ for the gun havin’ crazy thoughts
i heard a mother cryin’ tears fallen from her old eyes
pedal drops as a rose dies, see it clear with closed eyes
gunshot then the crow flies, night fall and the smoke rise
couldn’t see the beauty inside all of the darkness
vengeance and love i get confused with being heartless
heartless cross me out for a couple dollars
runnin’ with the devil and wonder what trouble follows
standin’ in the street, surrounded by my past
every sin i ever committed, is takin’ me at last
saw karma’s face in a black hoodie
with some gold t–th, and heard the police
heard a loud scream, seen the barrel flash
felt the sharp pain and now i can’t breath
woke up from a dream in new orleans
put my hands up as the choir sings

in the darkness where the heartless and demons scream
been tryin’ to come clean, but it ain’t what it seems
i found a nightmare in my dreams, down in new orleans
the darkness where the heartless and demons scream
been tryin’ to come clean, but it ain’t what it seems
i found a nightmare in my dreams. down in new orleans
