Why Georgia

John Mayer · Where The Light Is (Live in Los Angeles) [2008]

(Room For Squares album)



I am driving up 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



PRE-CHORUS

Cause I wonder sometimes about the outcome

Of a still verdict-less life



CHORUS

Am I living it right?

Am I living it right?

Am I living it right?

Why Georgia, why?



I rent a room and I fill the spaces with

Wood in places to make it feel like home

But all I feel's alone



It might be a quarter life crisis

Or just the stirring in my soul

Either way,



PRE-CHORUS

I wonder sometimes about the outcome

Of a still verdict-less life



CHORUS

Am I living it right?

Am I living it right?

Am I living it right?

Why Georgia, why?



So what, so I've got a smile on

But 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



Everybody is just a stranger but

That's the danger in going my own way

I guess it's the price I have to pay

Still, "Everything happens for a reason"

Is no reason not to ask myself,



CHORUS

If I am living it right

Am I living it right?

Am I living it right?

Why, tell me why

Why, why, Georgia, why?
