Left in Georgia

Tekst utworu

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
