Save Me Tonight

Intro

Yeah, uh, from the bottom, Jelly Roll style

Hell yeah, let's ride

Verse

Woke up in the motel, sheets stained with regret

Bottle on the nightstand, another debt I ain't paid yet

Tattoos tell the story, ink from a needle and pain

Small town sinner, chasin' highs in the pourin' rain

Mama prayed for me, daddy walked out the door

Sold my soul for a fix, now I'm beggin' for more

Handcuffs in the rearview, judge slammed the gavel down

Twenty to life in my mind, wearin' this outlaw crown

Friends turned to ghosts, love turned to lies

Truck's on E, heart's runnin' on goodbyes

Pills in my pocket, demons in my ear

Whisperin' "one more hit," pullin' me near

Fell so far, can't see the light

But somethin' in my chest still wants to fight

Yeah, I'm a son of the struggle, born in the mud

Risin' from the dirt, spittin' fire in my blood

Hell yeah, I been broken, shattered like glass

But glue me back with grit, watch me come back fast

No silver spoon, just a plastic one bent

From the trap house to the stage, every dollar I spent

Chorus

Save me from myself, yeah, save me tonight

I'm dancin' with the devil, losin' sight of the light

One more chance, Lord, pull me from the fire

I'm tired of the fallin', take me higher and higher

Save me, save me (save me), from this hell I'm in

Washed in the river, let the healin' begin

Yeah, save me tonight

Verse

Backroads callin', gravel crunch under tires

Whiskey burnin' throat, fuelin' these desires

Ex-girl textin', sayin' she miss the man

But I know it's the cash, not the wedding band

Prison bars behind me, but the cage in my head

Echoes of the warden, words the devil done said

Hustled for the paper, flipped it till it burned

Lessons in the loss, every bridge that I learned

Now the crowd's screamin', lights blindin' my eyes

From the county jail cyphers to these sold-out nights

Still fight the urge, that itch I can't scratch

Ghost of the old me lurkin' in the back

But I got a woman now, holdin' me tight

Prayin' I don't relapse into the night

Yeah, I'm clawin' my way, scars on display

Jelly Roll forever, ain't no other way

Broke the chains, but the weight still hangs

Singin' my truth, through the joy and the pains

One foot in front, the other slippin' sometimes

But I'm built for the battle, crossin' every line

Chorus

Save me from myself, yeah, save me tonight

I'm dancin' with the devil, losin' sight of the light

One more chance, Lord, pull me from the fire

I'm tired of the fallin', take me higher and higher

Save me, save me (save me), from this hell I'm in

Washed in the river, let the healin' begin

Yeah, save me tonight

Save me tonight (save me), yeah

Bridge

Whoa, slow it down, feel the weight lift off

No more runnin', found my way back to the cross

Hell yeah, redeemed, but
