georgia

 

Nothing to do with the other Georgia, this one's a sort of Bonnie & Clyde story, just a bit shorter than the original!

Waiting for a time when the time was right, when the time was right to leave;
I could have waited all my life, hoping to deceive;
but she was standing at the roadside looking for a ride,
and I was driving, driving home to pick another fight.

Falling into a Georgia state of mind;
falling into a Georgia state of mind.

She was young and she was pretty; she was full of fun;
when we pulled in at the bank, she handed me her gun;
we were standing at the roadside waiting for a sign;
we took the cash and shot the clerk and headed for the county line.

Falling into a Georgia state of mind;
falling into a Georgia state of mind.


We drove fast and we drove crazy down the country lanes;
trying to outrun the law and hold on to our gains;
then she pulled her gun on me and told me she was gone;
I stopped the car and she got out and vanished in the dawn.

Falling into a Georgia state of mind;
falling into a Georgia state of mind.


Driving down the road, just driving along with a bottle in my hand;
road block ahead just before the line; how they found me I don't understand;
they're all standing at the roadside, just around the bend;
I'm just driving, driving on; waiting for the end.

Falling into a Georgia state of mind;
falling into a Georgia state of mind.
