(1)

I am driving up 85 in the

Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon (2)

just stuck inside the gloom (1)

4 more exits to my apartment but

I am tempted to keep the car in drive (2)

And leave it all behind (1)

(3) Cause I wonder sometimes

About the outcome

Of a still verdictless life

(4) Am I living it right?

Am I living it right?

Am I living it right?

Why Georgia, why?

(1)

I rent a room and I fill the spaces with

Wood in places to make it feel like home (2)

But all I feel's alone (1)

It might be a quarter life crisis (2)

Or just the stirring in my soul (1)

(3) Either way I wonder sometimes

About the outcome

Of a still verdictless life

(4) Am I living it right?

Am I living it right?

Am I living it right?

Why Georgia, why? (5)

(5) So what, so I've got a smile on

But it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head

Don't believe me

When I say I've got it down (1)

Everybody is just a stranger but

That's the danger in going my own way (2)

I guess it's the price I have to pay (1)

(3b) Still "everything happens for a reason"

Is no reason not to ask myself

(4) If I am living it right

Am I living it right?

Am I living it right?

Why Georgia, why? (1)
