Southern State

(This next, this next song is about Athens In Georgia, not in Greece And it's called Southern State and it goes like this) The songs you sung spiraled And hung 'round like echoes or ripples on a pond And so you circled the globe Spent a year on the road without ever going home More than a couple of days then you leave right away Run to a girl you barely know But you like how she sings And you can't help but think That there is something that she knows and could teach you, now you You're sleeping in that southern state Where the, the bars are filled with people you can't hate But try as you try, you still can't relate to them You drink that whiskey down as they ask you Are you who you say you are? Are you who you say that you are? Are you who you say that you are, you who? Are you who you say that you are? Are you who you say you are? The fact that we can't tell makes us like you even more So now you're trying again or just visiting friends One had just had his heart broke For the first time in his life He realized there's times You can't make it alone But now you're giving advice as if you had the right To use a word like love No, it's a negotiable term What gets said is not what's heard So it's different then for everyone But you're still hanging 'round that college town With your, your new life, your new lover you found And you are keeping her up at night Bringing her down She'll watch you drink yourself to death But won't ask you Is this really what you want? Is this really what you want? Is this really what you, is this what? Is this really what you want? Is it really what you want? Or are you just sticking with it now 'Cause it's all you got? Are you just sticking with it now 'Cause it's all you got? I said I think you're sticking with me now 'Cause I'm all you got God, no I'm all you got God, no God, no
