Why Georgia (Live in Birmingham) Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
Fold me up
Take me out
I'm portable
X2

[Verse 1]
Well out here we have anything we want
We have anything we want at all
Well out here we're just bolted to the floor
Or taping to the wall
Rolling with a satellite
Watching the Cosby Show on Nick at Night
It's weird but I'm feeling right
I am a soldier now

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2]
Out here we just sing and play whatever we feel
And the threat of falling out of bed night is real
When you're traveling on a box with 18 wheels
If I can go anywhere at all x6
I mean if I really really really can go anywhere at all
Won't you tell me why x2
Why
Why Georgia why?
[Verse 3]
I am driving up 85 in the kind of morning
That lasts all afternoon, I'm just stuck inside the gloom
Four more exits to my apartment
But I am tempted to keep the car in drive and leave this shit behind

[Chorus 2]
'Cause I wonder sometimes about the outcome of a still verdict less life
Am I living it right, am I living it right?
Am I living it right
Why, why Georgia, why?

[Verse 4]
I rent a room and I fill the spaces with wood in places
To make it feel like home but all I feel's alone
It might be a quarter life crisis, or just a stirrin' in my soul, who knows

[Chorus 2]

Ladies and Gentlemen the B-ham choir

[Bridge (Crowd)]
So what, so I've got a smile on
It's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
Don't believe me, don't believe me when I say I've got it down
Everybody is just a stanger
But that's the danger in going my own way way way way
It's just the price I'm going to pay
Still everything happens for a reason
Is no reason not to ask myself if I'm

[Chorus 2]
