Elle 121,307 Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) I go back to Alabama Take a look at my life What the fuck happened here? I guess that's what they meant when they pay the price I go back to Alabama Take a look at my life Where are the trailer parks? & where are all the Christmas lights? I had a boyfriend He came from this town We used to pretend we were married and start again He read the bible Showed me what Jesus said He said only read the red I want Jesus to take me out of this life, baby & I talk to Jesus and ask him if he'll think of saving me Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh I go back to Alabama Take a look at my life Nothing looks familiar here No one even that I like I go back to Alabama Take a look at my life I was so much happier when I was gonna be your wife We had a deal and I fucked it up when I made the decision to become someone We had the one thing That no one never had True love It's true love I have Jesus to take me out of this life, baby & I talk to Jesus and ask him if he'll think of saving me Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh I never meant to hurt you, baby It's so hard to be true In this world where everything's so black & blue I never meant to hurt you, darling It's so hard to be good In this world where you do what you know you should I want Jesus to take me out of this life, baby & I talk to Jesus and ask him if he'll think of saving me Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Edited August 2, 2020 by Elle 28 Quote • 4.18.14 • 5.1.14 • 9.20.14 • 5.28.15 • 6.14.15 • 7.28.16 • 7.24.17 • 10.23.17 • 10.24.17 • 1.25.18 • 2.5.18 • 12.5.18 • 10.3.19 • 10.11.19 • 11.16.19 • SF • ATL • ATL • IND • ATL • CHI • LDN • NYC • NYC • DC • ATL • NYC • PDX • SAN • KS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cloudbusting 5,382 Posted August 2, 2020 Ughh this is so hard, I think that in the end of the bridge it’s “where you do what you know you shouldn’t” but I’m not sure at all, sucks not being a native speaker when I try to figure out her lyrics lmao 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sparklrtrailrheaven 9,063 Posted August 2, 2020 i think it might be he said only (read the red) this would definitely make sense vis a vis many Bibles marking the words of Jesus in red (in case anyone didn't pick that up dkdfkfk sorry if i'm stating the obvious) 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthem 1,558 Posted August 2, 2020 This is one of my favorite of the new unreleased tracks. Its beautiful and sad and so.. real? I also always thought her living in Alabama was some fantasy bullshit but now I just don't know. Not that she couldn't have still made this up, but I feel like this gives the story more credibility. I don't know, I just really really love this. 6 Quote Goddesses don't speak in whispers. They scream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
