What About Georgia?

[Verse 1] You draw it out like a highway With every word that you say Excuses for the answers that you lack Your mama's still the steady ground you walk on every day And your daddy's still the monkey on your back [Pre-Chorus] Did you find all you thought you'd find out in the wild, wild west? You took a little piece of home and you threw away the rest [Chorus] You say you're livin' on the edge And I think you're hangin' from a ledge Too scared to hold the hand that wants to help you up Are you the man you thought you'd be By the time that you turned thirty-three? Are you still a bullet in your daddy's gun? Don't forget, boy, you're your mama's only son She's at home and she's been prayin' for ya So what about Georgia? [Verse 2] Saw your sister yesterday Austin's five and on his way Lookin' for some shoes that he can fill He said that he'd be just like you The coolest guy he ever knew And he'd find you when he lost his training wheels [Pre-Chorus] I looked in his big blue eyes and I saw you again He's hungry for a life that he ain't ready to begin [Chorus] You say you're livin' on the edge And I think you're hangin' from a ledge Too scared to hold the hand that wants to help you up Are you the man you thought you'd be By the time that you turned thirty-three? Are you still a bullet in your daddy's gun? Don't forget, boy, you're your mama's only son She's at home and she's been prayin' for ya So what about Georgia? [Bridge] Guess you didn't realize it'd take you quite this long To figure out that bein' free is right where you belong [Chorus] You say you're livin' on the edge And I think you're hangin' from a ledge Too scared to hold the hand that wants to help you up Hey, are you the man you thought you'd be By the time that you turned thirty-three? Are you still a bullet in your daddy's gun? Well, don't forget, boy, you're your mama's only son She's at home and she's been prayin' for ya So what about Georgia? [Outro] What about Georgia? Yeah What about Georgia, Georgia? Yeah What about Georgia?
