lyrics

Georgia Freeway Lullaby
E/A (rocking)
I drove the night haul thru Georgia.
E/A
Katleen folded up the map.
E/A
I said try to get some sleep now, Kat.
A (5th fret) A2
I'll make it till the sun comes up.
E6 E6,7sus4 E6 E6,7sus4
Hey tell me, Sebastian, what difference does it make
E6 E6,7sus4 E6 E6,7sus4
if dawn comes in five hundred miles or right where we are now?
Dmaj7 B7sus4
Right where we are now.
E/A (rocking)
Tomorrow won't even notice, Kat, whatever state we're in.
F#m F#m7sus4 G# G#7
But of all the laggard freeway dawns, none ever look the same.
F#m F#m7sus4 A B
And the break of light on Kentucky hills is worth a lonely night.
A A2
What a lonely night.
E6 E6,7sus4 E6 E6,7sus4
Wouldn't be so lonesome if you'd settle for Georgia clay,
E6 E6,7sus4 E6 E6,7sus4
or Kansas dust or Utah rock. Let your roots grab hold.
Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7
Getting root bound in an automobile won't let your soul unfold.
Dmaj7 B7sus4
Let your soul unfold.


E/A
And when I'm all unfolded, Kat, squatting to a piece of mud,
F#m F#m7sus4 G# G#7
should I turn my hands toward the sun and hum my life away?
F#m A
Well, I couldn't stand the slackened breath,
E/A
the long wait in between.
F#m F#m7sus4
No, I'd rather lose my battered lungs
A B
shouted down by the wind.
A A2
Shouting down the wind.
Georgia Freeway Lullaby/p.2
E6 E6,7sus4
So we make our own wind, now,
E6 E6,7sus4
Sebastian, it all feels the same.
E6 E6,7sus4
We're in a gale even on sunny days
E6 E6,7sus4
and never know who's throwing the rain.
Dmaj7 Amaj7
But you have to pick your madness,
Dmaj7 Amaj7 - Dmaj7
use your hands or use your feet.
E6 E6,7sus4
Let me know when you've decided,
E6 E6,7sus4
that you'd like to get some sleep.
Dmaj7 Bm7sus4
Like to get some sleep.
verse one
A E/A
Make it till the sun comes up.
(repeat and fade.)
