This is the first song I wrote for this AI singer. A 12-song set is in the works. I was inspired to make this when I was on Bourbon Street many years ago. A piece of that blues soul wakes up when you hear it live.
[Verse 1] Streetlights hummin’ low on Bourbon where my shadows used to roam, I spent too many nights beggin’ you to call me home. Now the band is burnin’ hotter than the lies you used to tell, And I’m too tired to be jealous — baby, go love someone else. [Pre‑Chorus] You took my quiet, took my time, took my heart for granted, But I found my fire in the places you abandoned. [Chorus] [big soulful belt, confident R&B phrasing, blues‑rooted attitude, stage‑commanding energy] I’m too tired to be jealous, too worn out to care, You can chase your little daydreams, I won’t meet you there. I gave you all my thunder, you gave me nothin’ back, Now I’m dancin’ in the spotlight while you fade into the black. [Verse 2] You used to drag me through your storms just to watch me break, But New Orleans taught me how to rise from every ache. This smoky room is holy ground, this band is playin’ truth, And I’m too tired to be jealous — I’m too done to miss you. [Pre‑Chorus] You took my quiet, took my time, took my heart for granted, But I found my fire in the places you abandoned. [Chorus] I’m too tired to be jealous, too worn out to care, You can chase your little daydreams, I won’t meet you there. I gave you all my thunder, you gave me nothin’ back, Now I’m dancin’ in the spotlight while you fade into the black. [Bridge] [smoky jazz‑blues tone, emotional cracks, cinematic soul phrasing, gospel‑lifted intensity] Let the horns cry out my freedom, let the drums shake off your name, Let my voice burn through the rafters — I ain’t carryin’ your shame. I ain’t bitter, I ain’t broken, I’m just finally wakin’ up, And I’m too tired to be jealous — I’ve had more than enough. [Final Chorus] I’m too tired to be jealous, too alive to look behind, You can chase your little daydreams — I’m done wastin’ mine. I gave you all my thunder, you gave me nothin’ back, Now I’m dancin’ in the spotlight while you fade into the black.
