Georgia

When I think of Georgia, I think of you High as a kite in the second pew You were my best friend, the light of my youth And the only one back then that knew the whole truth 'Cause if I told my mom She would scream at the top of her lungs Saying I don't belong I don't belong Sure hope she's wrong I wanted to be honest I wanted to be brave But if my grandmother knew She would roll in her grave And my father would scream He'd scream out in rage He did not want a daughter whose soul wasn't saved He thought if I told the world They would not see me as the same girl They'd say I don't belong I don't belong Well, that's where he's wrong There is a place past the Georgia pines And people who welcome you with an open mind And they say it'll take, it'll just take some time 'Til love, it belongs to all humankind Oh, 'cause I told the world And they still saw me as the same girl They listen to my songs And they made me feel like I belong Yeah, they make me feel like I belong Oh Georgia, you were wrong
