Southern State-Bright Eyes

[00:00.169] This next...this next song is about anthems in Georgia, not in Greece. And it's called Southern State. It goes like this [00:32.886] The songs you sung spiraled [00:35.341] And hung 'round like echoes [00:37.268] Or ripples on a pond [00:40.688] So you circled the globe [00:43.067] Spent a year on the road [00:44.917] Without ever going home [00:48.426] More than a couple of days [00:50.426] Then you leave right away [00:52.367] Run to a girl you barely know [00:56.217] But you like how she sings [00:58.540] And you can't help but think [01:00.370] That there's something that she knows [01:03.139] And could teach you [01:04.454] Now you're sleeping in that southern state [01:08.650] Where the, the bars are filled with people you don't hate [01:12.552] But try as you try, you still can't relate to them [01:16.948] You drink that whiskey down as they ask you: [01:22.303] "Are you who you say you are? [01:30.150] "Are you who you say that you are? [01:38.180] "Are you who you say that you are? [01:42.557] "Are you who you say that you are? [01:46.473] "Are you who you say you are? [01:56.901] "The fact that we can't tell [01:58.931] "Makes us like you even more" [02:32.503] So now you're trying again [02:34.563] Or just visiting friends [02:36.816] One had just had his heart broke [02:40.320] For the first time in his life [02:42.625] He realized there's times [02:45.274] When you can't make it alone [02:48.791] But now you are giving advice [02:50.973] As if you had the right [02:52.929] To use a word like "love" [02:56.617] No, it's a negotiable term [02:58.966] What gets said's not what's heard [03:01.019] So it's different then for everyone [03:04.749] But you've still hangin' 'round that college town [03:09.303] With your new life, your new lover you found [03:13.097] Keeping her up at night, bringing her down [03:16.742] She'll watch you drink yourself to death [03:20.230] But won't ask you: [03:22.624] "Is this really what you want? [03:30.500] "Is this really what you want? [03:38.402] "Is this really what you want? [03:42.589] "Is this really what you want? [03:46.999] "Is it really what you want? [03:56.882] "Or are you just sticking with it now [03:59.272] "Cause it's all you got? [04:05.046] "Or are you just sticking with it now [04:07.365] "Cause it's all you got? [04:12.768] I think you're sticking with me now 'cause I'm all you got [04:19.322] God, no [04:23.274] I'm all you got [04:26.933] God, no
