Christie Mccarthy Backroads Of Georgia Lyrics

Backroads Of Georgia Lyrics

On the way back from Hartsfield, these country roads aint my home

Two
bluebirds landed in my lane just as I felt the carnage like a bomb

And
looking back in my mirror from this heaving life taker of lead

One
bluebird tried with all its heart to raise the other from the dead

And on
and on in my head



 



Im a rose in the desert, bleed me
till I dry

Im a bird on the backroads of Georgia watching the trucks
fly



  



You never know what a choice is until its too
late

A subtle hand in the mind of your plans and baby dont leave it up to
fate

You gotta make it all happen, every second, every soul

And
everything I ever thought I knew is changing with this road

On and on so
it goes



  



Im a rose in the desert, bleed me till I
dry

Im a bird on the backroads of Georgia watching the trucks fly 



  



My love youre too far out of reach, I want you safe
and next to me

I wish I could hold you inside and keep you deprived of
all that which I worry 



 



Now Im on my way to
anywhere but you cant go back from where you came

So as I drive Im aware
of all the closing distance of this terrain

And I'll drive till the Maker
calls my name 



  



Im a rose in the desert, bleed me
till I dry

Im a bird on the backroads of Georgia watching the trucks fly
