Southern State |
| Well, the songs you sung spiraled and hung round like echoes or ripples on a pond |
| 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’s something that she knows and could teach you |
| Well, you’re sleeping in that southern state where the the bars are filled with |
| people you can’t hate |
| But try as you try and you still can’t relate to them |
| You drink that whiskey down as they ask you |
| Are you who you say you are? |
| The fact that we can’t tell makes us like you even more |
| So 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 |
| When you can’t make it alone |
| So now you’re giving advices as if you had the right |
| To use a word like love (blood) |
| It’s a negotiable term, what gets said’s not what is heard |
| So it’s different then for everyone |
| But you keep hanging around that college town with 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? |
| Or are you just sticking with it now cause it’s all you got? |
| Are you just sticking with me now cause I’m all you got? |
