(This next, this next song is about Athens
In Georgia, not in Greece
And it's called Southern State and it goes like this)
The songs you sung spiraled
And hung 'round like echoes or ripples on a pond
And so you circled the globe
Spent a year on the road without ever going home
More than a couple of days then you leave right away
Run to a girl you barely know
But you like how she sings
And you can't help but think
That there is something that she knows and could teach you, now you
You're sleeping in that southern state
Where the, the bars are filled with people you can't hate
But try as you try, you still can't relate to them
You drink that whiskey down as they ask you
Are you who you say you are?
Are you who you say that you are?
Are you who you say that you are, you who?
Are you who you say that you are?
Are you who you say you are?
The fact that we can't tell makes us like you even more
So now you're trying again or just visiting friends
One had just had his heart broke
For the first time in his life
He realized there's times
You can't make it alone
But now you're giving advice as if you had the right
To use a word like love
No, it's a negotiable term
What gets said is not what's heard
So it's different then for everyone
But you're still hanging 'round that college town
With your, your new life, your new lover you found
And you are keeping her up at night
Bringing her down
She'll watch you drink yourself to death
But won't ask you
Is this really what you want?
Is this really what you want?
Is this really what you, is this what?
Is this really what you want?
Is it really what you want?
Or are you just sticking with it now
'Cause it's all you got?
Are you just sticking with it now
'Cause it's all you got?
I said
I think you're sticking with me now
'Cause I'm all you got
God, no
I'm all you got
God, no
God, no
