He's going back to Georgia Because he knows time and time has come don't even know if shell be waiting Because he's been gone for way too long How long will you stay Boy you don't got nine lives to waste How long will you stay Saving time losing grace She believed every word he told her About the troubles and how they start She didn't listen to the laughter She only listened to her heart How long will you stay Boy you don't got nine lives to waste How long will you stay Saving time losing grace She didn't believe She didn't believe She didn't believe She didn't believe He made a promise to no one That he could right a wrong He wanted to do something just But he was just gone How long will you stay Boy you don't got nine lives to waste How long will you stay Saving time losing grace She didn't believe She didn't believe She didn't believe believe believe She didn't believe what they told her about her lover Nothing left bet her tears and theirs were laughter Forever after
