Southern State

Well, the songs you sung spiraled
And hung round like echoes
Or ripples on a pond

So you circled the globe
Spent a year on the road
Without ever going home

More than a couple of days
Then you leave right away
Run to a girl you barely know

But you like how she sings
And you can't help but think
That there's something that she knows

And could teach you
Well you're sleeping in that southern state
Where the bars are filled

With people you can't hate
But try as you try
You still can't relate to them

You drink that whiskey down
As they ask you:

Are you who you say you are?
Are you who you say that you are?
Are you who you say that you are?
Are you who you say that you are?
Are you who you say you are?

The fact that we can't tell
Makes us like you even more
So now you're trying again
Or just visiting friends
One had just had his heart broke

For the first time in his life
He realized there are times
When you can't make it alone

But now you are giving advice
As if you had the right
To use a word like love

No no it's a negotiable term
What gets said's not what is heard
So it's different then for everyone

But you've been hanging
Around that college town
With your new life

Your new lover you found
And you are keeping her up at night
Bringing her down

She'll watch you drink yourself to death
But won't ask you

Is this really what you want?
Is this really what you want?
Is this really what you want?
Is this really what you want?
Is this really what you want?

Or are you just sticking with it now
Cause it's all you got?

You just sticking with it now
Cause it's all you got?

Yeah, thats it I think you're sticking with me now
Cause I'm all you got
Cause I'm all you got
