Jelly Roll & Struggle Jennings
Can’t Go Home
[Intro: Struggle Jennings]
Heh, Waylon and Willie II, ha ha ha ha
They say, home is where the heart is, mama
[Verse 1: Struggle Jennings]
Made it out of that snake pit
Now snake skin on these boot tips
I see loose lips sank the last ship
So I set sail on a new trip
Some mistakes I never make again
Circle lot no one breakin' in
I gotta sit back and try to take it in
I know perseverance, what it take to win
Hard to push when the world pull
When the ones you love they try to burn you
Death comin' smell her perfume
Try to make it home before the curfew
I was runnin' late and the doors was locked
And the windows too, no where to turn to
After all the money I done burn through
I woke up broke on a church pew
With a new goal in on a 45
A fire in my eyes and some hunger pains
I spent my younger day just chasin' fame
To get burnt by the flames that money brings
Blazed trails and I torched bridges
Ain't no turnin' back I done moved on
Home is where the heart is
I've been heartless too long mama
[Pre-Chorus: Jelly Roll]
Mama says, you can't go home
You can't go home, you can't go home (Go home)
Mama says, you can't go home
Can't go home, can't go home
[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
I've spent some time in the house of a risin' son
Mirror on the wall I'm in fear of what I've become
Same thing I'm livin' for, same thing I'm dyin' from
Mama says, you can't go home, you can't go (Can't go)
I've spent some time in the house of a risin' son
Mirror on the wall I'm in fear of what I've become
Same thing I'm livin' for, same thing I'm dyin' from
Mama says, you can't go home, you can't go home
[Verse 2: Jelly Roll]
Early in the mornin' breath stankin' and yawnin'
I can feel last night from the dranks and the yoda
Heart beatin' so fast I was thinkin' it's over
Now my first thought is that I hate that I'm sober
Dealin' with the demons that I can't get control of
Dealin' with the ones that I can't get a hold of
How many day away from commitin' a hold up
'Til we be patient and even the haters'll show love
My brother told me Bubba get that check
And don't worry about bullshit 'cause you got next
Then we know when you get it that you gonna flex
Then I'll be overlooked like the New York Jets
Pay attention to them homies when they want for ya
Back bitin' and actin' like they get along witcha
But as soon as you catch a case and end you up in the place
The motherfucker won't even hit the phone for ya
I've done seen them stand tall and I've seen 'em fall
You can't me shit I've done seen it all
I ain't worried about the chips, you can keep 'em all
But I promise you this I'm gonna bring it raw
I'm just tryna put my people on
I'm just tryna buy some property from singin' songs
Tryna wake up from the cloud I've been dreamin' on
And I ain't plan on goin' back when I was leavin' home (Leavin' home)
[Pre-Chorus: Jelly Roll]
Mama says, you can't go home
You can't go home, you can't go home
Mama says, you can't go home
Can't go home, can't go home
[Chours: Jelly Roll]
I've spent some time in the house of a risin' son
Mirror on the wall I'm in fear of what I've become
Same thing I'm livin' for, same thing I'm dyin' from
Mama says, you can't go home, you can't go home (Go home, go home)
Can't go home (Go home, go home, go home, go go go go go go go go go)
I've spent some time in the house of a risin' son
Mirror on the wall I'm in fear of what I've become
Same thing I'm livin' for, same thing I'm dyin' from
Mama says, you can't go home, you can't go home
