What About Georgia? - Miranda Lambert

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

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

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 33

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?

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

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

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 33

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?

Guess you didn’t realize it’d take you quite this long

To figure out that bein' free is right where you belong

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 33?

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 you

So what about Georgia

What about Georgia?

Yeah

What about Georgia, Georgia?

Yeah

What about Georgia?
