Why Georgia
John Mayer
Room For Squares (2001)

Fold me up
Take me out
I'm portable

Fold me up
Take me out
I'm portable

Well out here, we have anything we want
We have anything we want at all
Well out here, we'll just bolt it to the floor
tape it to the wall

Rolling with the satellite
Watching the Cosby show on Nick At Night
I'm weary but I'm feeling right
I am a soldier now

Fold me up, fold me up
Take me out, take me out
I'm portable

Fold me up, fold me up
Take me out, take me out
I'm portable

Out here, we just sing and play whatever we feel
And the threat of falling out of bed at night
is real
When you're travelling on a box with 18 wheels, oh

If I can go anywhere at all
If I can go anywhere at all, oh
If I can go anywhere at all

If I can go anywhere, anywhere
And if I can go anywhere at all
And if I can go anywhere at all
I mean if I really,really,really can go anywhere
at all
Won't you tell me why
Won't you tell me why
Why, why Georgia, why

I am driving up
85 in the
Kind of morning that
Lasts all afternoon
I'm just stuck inside the gloom

Four more exits to
My apartment but
I am tempted to
Keep the car in drive
And leave it all behind

Cuz I wonder sometimes
About the outcome
Of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right
Am I living it right
Am I living it right
Why, why Georgia why?

I rent a room and I
Fill the spaces with
Wood in places to
Make it feel like home
But all I feel's alone

It might be a quarter life crisis
Or just a stirring in my soul

Either way--
I wonder sometime about the outcome
Of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right
Am I living it right
Am I living it right
Why, why Georgia why?

So what so I've got a smile on
But its hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
Don't believe me
Don't believe me
When I say I've got it down

Everybody is
Just a stranger but
That's the danger in
Going my own way
I guess it's a price I have to pay
Still--
"Everything happens
For a reason"
Is no reason not to ask myself

If I'm living it right
Am I living it right
Am I living it right

Why, tell me why--
Why, why georgia why
