Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson need to be together on song after song. Separately, the two are magnetic. Together, we’re surprised they haven’t disrupted flight patterns or the poles of the Earth.

While they two have collaborated on the platinum-selling Jelly Roll song, “Save Me,” we need more. That’s why we turned to ChatGPT for a little help. We asked the artificial intelligence bots to write a new duet in the style of country music’s biggest stars.

“Take That Ride”
(Verse 1 – Lainey Wilson)
Well, I’ve been walkin’ down this gravel road,
With the dust kickin’ up in that Southern glow,
Got my boots all scuffed, and my heart exposed,
I ain’t afraid to love, let the whole world know.
(Verse 2 – Jelly Roll)
I’ve been down these city streets, feelin’ rough and tough,
Life’s been a rollercoaster, it’s been wild enough,
But when I look in your eyes, I see the calm in the storm,
Girl, you’re the shelter I’ve been lookin’ for.
(Chorus – Both)
Lainey and Jelly, two worlds collide,
In a country duet, we’ll take that ride,
Through the highs and the lows, we’ll stand side by side,
With your sweet Southern charm, and my urban pride.
(Verse 3 – Lainey Wilson)
I got my pickup truck, and you got your guitar,
Together we’ll make music, under the stars,
You sing your city blues, I’ll bring the country soul,
We’ll light up this stage, and we’ll make it whole.
(Verse 4 – Jelly Roll)
I’ll strum these strings, and you’ll sing your heart out,
You bring the sunshine, girl, I’ll bring the doubt,
But we’ll find a balance, in our melodies,
In this country duet, we’ll set our spirits free.
(Chorus – Both)
Lainey and Jelly, two worlds collide,
In a country duet, we’ll take that ride,
Through the highs and the lows, we’ll stand side by side,
With your sweet Southern charm, and my urban pride.
(Bridge – Lainey Wilson)
We’re like a storm on a summer night,
Electric and fiery, but it feels so right,
I’ll be your country queen, and you’ll be my king,
In this musical love story, we’re gonna sing.
(Bridge – Jelly Roll)
We’re gonna bridge the gap, between city and field,
Find that common ground, let our love be revealed,
Lainey, you’re my sunshine, my moon, and my stars,
In this country duet, we’ll heal all our scars.
(Chorus – Both)
Lainey and Jelly, two worlds collide,
In a country duet, we’ll take that ride,
Through the highs and the lows, we’ll stand side by side,
With your sweet Southern charm, and my urban pride.
(Outro – Both)
Lainey and Jelly, we’re an unlikely pair,
But in this duet, we make the perfect pair,
With our voices entwined, we’ll take to the sky,
In a country love song, watch our spirits fly.
Final Thoughts
More, more, more. Like us, many country music fans would love a double shot of what Lainey Wilson and Jelly Roll have to offer. If they could bottle their charm and charisma, then they could sell it for a premium. But until they release some fantastical double album, we’ll just have to make do with a single or two.
