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?
