Start over Georgia

The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I think I feel like an old beat up two lane The one that the state's not about to repair From where I'm falling I think I might meet you Below where we were just above just don't care The way the world's changing I just can't accept it No right or wrong all in between The faith we were raised on is weathered and shaken But baby it don't have to be Cause I still believe in a prayer before supper Passing the time round the old courthouse square We've got nothing to keep us from start over Georgia We'll leave all the baggage and start over there Well I've never been to that part of the country Save for some old movies and deep in my mind Where it's accepted and even rewarded To stand on your own right side of the line Nobody wins here we're all scared of losing I feel scarred right down to the bone Maybe we'll find ourselves close to the ocean Where freedom first breathed on it's own Cause I still believe in a prayer Oh we've got nothing to keep us
