Cutting Corners

[Verse 1]

When I was just a kid

I didn't know how to live

Maybe if my dad was nicer

I could take back what I did

And tie the noose around my lips

Maybe then, I could breathe nicer

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe then, I could talk to strangers

Maybe then, I could taste some danger

Then, every day might be okay

[Chorus]

I know I’d be cutting corners

I just can't see me moving forward

But then, you're just so good to me

So, I stay here, I let you pull me

[Verse 2]

When I was seventeen

I almost gave up on my dream

I almost said goodbye too early

Carolina, be so sad

And maybe even mom and dad

And my dogs would start to worry

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And it’s better for a minute

'Til I find myself back in it

I'm not sure how much more I can take it

[Chorus]

I know I'd be cutting corners

I just can't see me moving forward

But then, you're just so good to me

So, I stay here, I let you pull me

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Outro]

Driving down past my street

Windows down, cool leather seat

Sometimes Georgia ain't sober
