Georgia You Were Right

I put a letter in my landlord's box
Bid him farewell and told him I was gone
I been counting days and nights for too long

I don't write songs the way I used to do
I don't get crazy in my high heeled shoes
Cause I want the good life
And the good life is better than that

So let California teach me a lesson
I can have your stars without all this mess I'm in
Small town girls fall harder than the rest

Oh-oh-oh-woh sweet Georgia pines
Oh-oh-oh-woh sweet Georgia you were right

Back when I came here for the very first time
My heart was stolen by a Hollywood knight
He was high in a tower on Sunset boulevard

He said I was trying to be somebody else
If I took the white ones I could be myself
And I guess he was right
Cause I sat on his ledge and died

So let California teach me a lesson
I can have your stars without all this mess I'm in
Small town girls fall harder than the rest

Oh-oh-oh-whoa sweet Georgia pines
Oh-oh-oh-whoa sweet Georgia you were right

Oh-oh-oh-whoa sweet Georgia pines
Oh-oh-oh-whoa sweet Georgia you were right
