Winning Streak - Jelly Roll

The broken glass of a bottle makes a jagged rock bottom
Right now, I got two shaky hands only one way to stop 'em
And I haven't touched a drop in 7 hours, 3 minutes
Hardly sobered up, already want to quit quittin'
Sweatin' in an old church basement
Wishin' I was wasted
Never thought I'd say this

"Hello, my name is Jason"

And I've been losin' myself
I've been losin' my mind
And I've been standin' in the rain just tryna stay dry
I was so ashamed to be in this seat 'til I met a man who was twenty years clean
He said, "Everybody here's felt the same defeat
Nobody walks through these doors on a winning streak"

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

The broken man in the mirror can't look at me 'cause he's guilty
And I swear that the last couple months, that motherf_cker tried to kill me
By the time I saw it comin', it was done with already
It's hard to run from it when it runs in the family
A problem with a thousand more it's causin'
Damn, this sh_t's exhaustin'
This is why I walked in

"Thanks for letting me share, y'all"

And I've been losin' myself
I've been losin' my mind
And I've been standin' in the rain just tryna stay dry
I was so ashamed to be in this seat 'til I met a man who was twenty years clean
He said, "Everybody here's felt the same defeat
Nobody walks through these doors on a winning streak"

I'm tired of bein' broken
I'm sick of feelin' hopeless
Way down here at my lowest
At the end of my rope
At the end of my rope

So what do I do?
So what do I do?
What do I do?

And I've been losin' myself
I've been losin' my mind
And I've been standin' in the rain just tryna stay dry
I was so ashamed to be in this seat 'til I met a man who was twenty years clean
He said, "Everybody here's felt the same defeat
Nobody walks through these doors on a winning streak"

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
