[Verse 1]
When I was just a kid
I didn't know how to live
Maybe if my dad was nicer
I could take back what I did
And tie the noose around my lips
Maybe then, I could breathe nicer

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe then, I could talk to strangers
Maybe then, I could taste some danger
Then, every day might be okay

[Chorus]
I know I’d be cutting corners
I just can't see me moving forward
But then, you're just so good to me
So, I stay here, I let you pull me

[Verse 2]
When I was seventeen
I almost gave up on my dream
I almost said goodbye too early
Carolina, be so sad
And maybe even mom and dad
And my dogs would start to worry
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And it’s better for a minute
'Til I find myself back in it
I'm not sure how much more I can take it

[Chorus]
I know I'd be cutting corners
I just can't see me moving forward
But then, you're just so good to me
So, I stay here, I let you pull me

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Outro]
Driving down past my street
Windows down, cool leather seat
Sometimes Georgia ain't sober
