When I was just a kid I didn't know how to live Maybe if my dad was nicer I could take back what I did And tie the noose around my lips Maybe then, I could breathe nicer Maybe then, I could talk to strangers Maybe then, I could taste some danger Then, every day might be okay I know I’d be cutting corners I just can't see me moving forward But then, you're just so good to me So, I stay here, I let you pull me When I was seventeen I almost gave up on my dream I almost said goodbye too early Carolina, be so sad And maybe even mom and dad And my dogs would start to worry And it’s better for a minute 'Til I find myself back in it I'm not sure how much more I can take it I know I'd be cutting corners I just can't see me moving forward But then, you're just so good to me So, I stay here, I let you pull me Driving down past my street Windows down, cool leather seat Sometimes Georgia ain't sober
