Left in Georgia

Lyrics

Verse 1)
You said you loved my drawl and my daddy’s old guitar
Danced with me barefoot in that rusted red barn
I shoulda known better, but I fell too fast
Now you’re a ghost in the rearview of my past

(Pre-Chorus)
I wore your flannel like it meant forever
But forever turned out to be bad weather

(Chorus)
You left me in Georgia with a heart full of lies
In a cotton field sunset, sayin’ goodbye
I’m pickin’ up pieces in a little white dress
While you’re probably in Nashville making a mess
You wrote our love like a song you’d forget
Now I’m stuck in these boots, tryin’ not to regret
Yeah, you left me in Georgia, but I ain’t left yet

(Verse 2)
Mama says heartbreak makes a girl strong
But it sure don’t feel that way at 3AM alone
You said we were fire, but you burned me down
Now I’m just smoke in this no-name town

(Pre-Chorus)
I gave you my summer, you gave me the cold
Guess some country boys just never grow old

(Chorus)
You left me in Georgia with a heart full of lies
In a cotton field sunset, sayin’ goodbye
I’m pickin’ up pieces in a little white dress
While you’re probably in Nashville making a mess
You wrote our love like a song you’d forget
Now I’m stuck in these boots, tryin’ not to regret
Yeah, you left me in Georgia, but I ain’t left yet

(Bridge)
Maybe one day I’ll head west,
Paint over the pain and forget the rest
But tonight it’s whiskey and radio static
Still hear your voice in every damn ballad

(Final Chorus)
You left me in Georgia with a heart full of lies
But I found my strength where the peaches lie
I’m pickin’ up dreams from a love gone bad
Turnin’ tears into steel, and I ain’t lookin’ back
You wrote our love like a song you’d forget
But I’m writing my story — haven’t finished it yet
Yeah, you left me in Georgia… but I’m not done yet
