Song Lyric Sunday

My mom moved to Houston (Sugar Land) yesterday from my "home base" in New Braunfels. I wasn't quite sure how I would feel about this but I felt a little "scattered" as I drove back to our apartment in Austin. I decided to listen to some John Mayer because I didn't feel like listening to the same old songs on the radio and in my 6 disc CD changer in the soon to be paid off Mazda3. John wins this weeks spot on Song Lyric Sunday with "Why Georgia". It is said that, "Its weird how songs speak to me. So weird.

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

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?

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, 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 me
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

If I'm living it right
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why, tell me why
Why, why Georgia why?
