Jelly Roll - Son Of A Sinner (Lyrics) 'i'm just a long haired son of a sinner'

Son Of A Sinner Lyrics

I never get lonely
I 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 backroads got me
These pills pretend to be my friend
I'm done for the last time
I'm lying to myself again
I always say that
Now I'm on my way back here 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 hearts been slowing 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

My daughter's dad passed away yesterday. We went our separate ways but we always got along really well. We helped each other out if one was ever in need. We both have battled addiction but I was able to pull away from meth, but he wasn't. He never knew when to quit. He was a good person but like many of us, he had his demons. The meth had changed him. He began to lose touch with reality. He would be so afraid and paranoid that people would get him. I hate it so much that he died afraid. 😞

Jelly I'm 50 I held up a lighter listing to this till it burnt my finger like I was at the concert you speak for everyone and God sent you to us. You're the best dude

He's extremely versatile. From rap to rock to country. I'm glad he blew up and making that $$. Such a cool dude

[ForeThePeople]

This is one of the best written songs I’ve ever heard. Really felt every word.

[dlauderback]

My husband was 30 years old and LOVED this song. Played it at his funeral for him in Dec ❤

[tracystorch]

I heard this song on a country radio station recently for the very first time and it definitely struck a familiar chord with me. My husband lost his battle with mental illness and addiction two years ago this month. I miss him move than words can say. He would have liked this song a lot and def cranked it up loud and sang along to it every time it came on.

[susanrahn]

Jelly Roll just won his 1st award on CMT. Well deserved.

[krisssutton]

God never hates us. He just wants us to surrender our hearts to Him. ❤

I'm 7 months into my recovery program and I'll tell you what may God bless you and your family your songs really truly touch my heart and remind me that I'm not alone in this addiction and this journey of recovery

[palmstopinesoutdoors]

I've never personally battled with addiction but a ton of loved ones have and I can honestly say this song brings me to tears.

[marymccord]

I know im not the only one who have these lyrics randomly pop into your head at any time during the day. LOVE THIS SONG!! BEST EVER!

[deanperez]

I play this song on repeat when I'm traveling down that long lost highway. I'm so glad that I have a great woman in my life to help me through the tough times I've endured throughout the years. I love you so much my sweet angel.

[sheilacaudill]

This song speaks some serious volumes. Love it

[wakawaka]

This song makes me appreciate what my wife and I have even more. The one that got away got away for a reason. Love that lasts forever takes work. We can be happy with a lot of people for a time but forever takes real commitment especially through hard times.

[randomnerdery]

Like a lot of others who've shared, this song hits pretty hard. My ex-wife and son's mom lost her battle with addiction in 2019, and this song makes me think of her and her battles with her demons. I know she would have loved this song.

[zacunleashed]

I'm just a son of a trucker and a outlaw and I feel so deeply with this song it stirs emotions in me that make me feel every emotion sewn into this song.
