| A | |
| You draw it out like a highwa | y with every word that you say |
| Em | D | |
| Excuses for the answers that you l | ack |
| D | A | |
| Your | mama's still the steady ground you | walk on every day |
| Em | A | D | |
| And your | daddy's still the | monkey on your | back |
| A | Em | |
| Did | you find all you thought you'd find out | in the wild, wild west? |
| Em | A | |
| You | took a little piece of home and you | threw away the rest |
| CHORUS |
| D | A | |
| You | say you're livin' on the edge and I | think you're hangin' from a ledge |
| Em | A | |
| Too | scared to hold the hand that wants to | help you up |
| D | A | |
| Are | you the man you thought you'd be by the | time that you turned 33? |
| Em | A | |
| Are you | still a bullet in your daddy's | gun? |
| Em | A | |
| Don't for | get boy you're your mama's only | son |
| Em | A | |
| She's at home and she's been praying | for ya |
| D | A | Em | A | |
| So what about | Georgia? |
| D | A | |
| I | saw your sister yesterday, | Austin's five and on his way |
| Em | A | |
| Looking for some shoes that he can | fill |
| D | A | |
| He | said that he'd be just like you, the | coolest guy he ever knew |
| Em | A | D | |
| And he'd | find you when he | lost his training w | heels |
| A | Em | |
| I looked in his big blue eyes and | I saw you again |
| Em | A | |
| He's | hungry for a life that he aint | ready to begin |
| REPEAT CHORUS |
| A | Em | |
| Guess you didn't realize it'd | take you quite this long |
| Em | A | |
| To | figure out that being free is | right where you belong |
| REPEAT CHORUS |
| D | A | |
| What about | Georgia? yea | h |
| D | A | |
| What about | Georgia, Georgia | ? yeah |
| D | |
| What about | Georgia? |
