georgia pouring

i received my education

according to the plan

in a valley full of echoes

in the footsteps of the band. along a field of battle

i came to understand

why so many fought and died here

in the heart of dixieland. and i bleed

i bleed

i bleed

but it's only georgia pouring out of me. i salute the colors

loudly i sing the hymn

and solemnly i bow my head

to honor fallen men. and when the crowd falls silent

i can hear it loud and clear

both tragedy and triumph

at once ringing in my ears. and i bleed

i bleed

i bleed

but it's only georgia pouring out of me

home is nothing we can choose. it's only something we can lose. now i march across the mountains

a world away from home. though i'd rather be in athens

all roads lead me to roam. for the holy war i'm waging

while the lights are going down

i lift my voice to heaven

so the world will know the sound. and i bleed

i bleed

i bleed

i bleed

i bleed

i bleed

but it's only georgia pouring

my home in georgia pouring. it's only georgia pouring out of me.
