Verse 1]

Just a girl in Georgia, clay an pine lined roads

Sunday dinner wasn't at no restaurant

Mama's prayers and daddy’s wisdom

Built me stronger than what I'd thought

Had an old truck through high school

An a dog that howled at every storm

Had some friends who’d fight beside me

Even when the world got rough an torn

But I chased a dream to the skyline

Where the concrete drowns the stars

Now I’m drinkin’ with some strangers

Who don’t know nothin’ ‘bout my scars

They talk in netspeak every minute

"Likes" and "follows" in their grip

None of ‘em would move to help

Or catch me if I slipped

I miss Friday nights under bleachers

Tailgate talks and faded jeans

Where promises meant forever

And your word still meant a thing

Now it’s all just shiny surface

Cash and clout no consequence

But I was richer back in Booneville

Back when things made sense

[vocals by more intense and emotional

Mama said, Girl, don’t lose your footing

Regret's weight can sink you fast”

Daddy warned me ‘bout the mirror

It don’t show love — just shows the past

And Lord, I thought I knew it better

Now I’m sittin’ in this 15th story cage

Longin’ for a porch swing sunset

And a life don't feel like a stage

I miss backyard beers and bonfires

Hymns that shook the church walls

Where your worth came from your heart, not

How high you climbed the company crawl

It was slow, it was real, it had meaning

Now it’s noise and pretense

God, I was grounded back in Georgia

Back when things made sense

Now I’d trade these city lights

For one star burnin’ clear

And all this lonely chatter

For my brother bendin’ ears

Truth is, I ain’t found better

Than that girl I used to be

the roots I once was runnin’ from

Are the ones now callin’ me

I miss potluck Church meals and morning stillness

Fence-line talks and Daddy's common sense

Where your dreams were built on family

Not on instagram filters or at anothers expense

Yeah, I was somebody back in nowhere

With some values,an folks less apt to take offence

And I’d give all this up this minute

To go back when things made sense

Back to love that didn’t waver

Back to friends who'd stand your ground

Back to nights where you could feel it

When the silence made a sound

The wind rushing between the pines

Blackberries and fishing with a friend

That boyI left in tears and behind

And back where I thought life'd never end

[outro: mournful theme and fade
