why georgia

i am driving 85 in the
kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
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


'cause 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?


so what so i've got a smile on
it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
don't believe me
don't believe me
when i say i've got it down
