History edit
Jelly Roll wrote the song with Jesse Frasure, Matt Jenkins, and Jessie Jo Dillon. The song's lyrics list off several other musical inspirations for Jelly Roll, while also mentioning his time having served prison sentences. The album version of the song opens with Jarrod Brown playing the role of a preacher.[1]
According to Jelly Roll, he placed the song first on the album because he felt it had "meaning" and told a story of "being somewhere between right and wrong".[2]
