Jelly Roll - Self Medicated Album Lyrics

Somebody save me
Me from myself
I've spent so long
Living in hell
They say my lifestyle is bad for my health
It's the only thing that seems to help

All of this drinkin' and smokin' is hopeless
But feel like it's all that I need
Something inside of me's broken
I hold onto anything that sets me free

I'm a lost cause
Baby, don't waste your time on me
I'm so damaged beyond repair
Life has shattered my hopes and my dreams
I'm a lost cause
Baby, don't waste your time on me
I'm so damaged beyond repair
Life has shattered my hopes and my dreams

Ooh, ooh, ooh

What if the night sky was missing the moon?
There were no shooting stars to use wishing on you
And all of my sorrows, I just wash them down
It's the only peace I've ever found

All of this drinkin' and smokin' is hopeless
But feel like it's all that I need
Something inside of me's broken
I hold onto anything that sets me free

I'm a lost cause
Baby, don't waste your time on me
I'm so damaged beyond repair
Life has shattered my hopes and my dreams
I'm a lost cause
Baby, don't waste your time on me (no, don't waster your time on me)
I'm so damaged beyond repair (I'm so damaged beyond repair)
Life has shattered my hopes and my dreams (life has shattered my hopes and my dreams)

Oh (ooh, ooh, ooh)

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 hit, she mental
I f*cked 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
Spent 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 hit, she mental
I f*cked 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?

[Instrumental]

I hope you show up in that black dress
You know, that one you never keep on too long
I hope you're with me 'til my last breath
Like a record to the needle when they playing this song
You're the only one that could ever play me like I play this guitar
Baby I ain't dead yet, so go and and smash the pedal in this getaway car
Let's take it too far, too far
Too far, mhh

Raised on the west coast, but she's loving my country grammar
This that true romance, it's like Clarence and Alabama
Tarantino love stories, so dark and so beautiful
To ever find a love like this is so unusual
I know that you're feeling my vibe
Hop in this truck and let's ride
Don't give a f*ck, I feel the rush
Let's roll one up and get high
City to city, baby, we gon' keep those tides turning
Look in your eyes mama, and I can see that fire burning

I hope you show up in that black dress
You know, that one you never keep on too long
I hope you're with me 'til my last breath
Like a record to the needle when they playing this song
You're the only one that could ever play me like I play this guitar
Baby I ain't dead yet, so go and and smash the pedal in this getaway car
Let's take it too far, too far
Too far, mhh
