Jelly Roll Saved My Soul

I was lost in a bottle, down a dark dirt road Had a Bible full of dust and a heart gone cold Mama prayed every night I'd find my way But I was knee-deep in demons I couldn’t escape Tattooed tears and a busted past Tried to run from the pain, but it ran too fast Till I heard a voice on a late-night show A sinner speakin' truth through the radio (Chorus) 🎶 Jelly Roll saved my soul Through the static and the smoke Preachin' pain like a backwoods gospel Turned my wreck into hope He sang, "You're not alone" And it hit me to the bone Yeah, he ain't no saint — but he knows my road Jelly Roll saved my soul 🎶 (Verse 2) Every lyric was a mirror I was scared to face But he made me feel seen in my lowest place A country boy cryin’ in a motel bed Feelin’ every word that that outlaw said He don’t wear no robe, don’t carry no cross But he lifts up the broken and counts the lost Like a preacher in a snapback, speakin' scars Singin’ hallelujahs over steel-string guitars (Chorus) 🎶 Jelly Roll saved my soul Through the static and the smoke Preachin' pain like a backwoods gospel Turned my wreck into hope He sang, "You're not alone" And it hit me to the bone Yeah, he ain't no saint — but he knows my road Jelly Roll saved my soul 🎶 (Bridge) Now I keep that fire burnin' in my chest Learned that fallin' don't mean you're less We're all just stories that grace rewrote And sometimes angels come in tattoos and notes (Final Chorus) 🎶 Jelly Roll saved my soul Through the static and the smoke Gave me faith in the middle of the fallout Pulled me outta that hole He sang, "You're not alone" And I found my way back home Yeah, he ain’t no saint — but he showed me gold Jelly Roll saved my soul 🎶 Yeah Jelly Roll saved my soul
