"What About Georgia"

I feel like this song is my own secret.  I feel like the only one who has ever heard this song?!  I freaking LOVE it!  I became obsessed with this song on her album, learned to play it on guitar, performed it...the whole nine yards.  I have one complaint, that incredible drum thing thats the first 5 seconds needs to be the first two lines of the verse.  Like why would some boy run off from her?  Apparently so she could go on to write songs like this!  Oh, and she did it all by herself.

Song: "What About Georgia"

You draw it out like a highway 
With every word you'd 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?

I saw your sister yesterday
Austin’s five and on his way
Looking 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 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?

I guess you didn’t realize it’d take you quite this long
To figure out that being 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 ya
So what about Georgia?

What about Georgia? yeah
What about Georgia Georgia? Yeah
What about Georgia?
