Maybe I should take that picture off the dashboard
Before her memory hits the brakes and takes the wheel
I bet she's still crying on the front porch
Yeah, this time it's gonna take some time to heal

'Cause I'm on my way to Tennessee
Singing Georgia On my mind
Chasing what they says a dream
Thinking maybe it ain't mine
'Cause that girl's in every song I sing
She's in every song I write
And six string ridin' in her seat
Won't keep me warm tonight
God what am I suppose to do
There's more than miles in my rear view

Well, I'm headed north to what I swore I wanted
And trying not to buy into my doubts
But I just cant seem to keep myself from wondering
Why I'm jealous of all them headlights headed south

'Cause I'm on my way to Tennessee
Singing Georgia On my mind
Chasing what they says a dream
Thinking maybe it ain't mine
'Cause that girl's in every song I sing
She's in every song I write
And six string ridin' in her seat
Won't keep me warm tonight
God what am I suppose to do, yeah
There's still more than miles in my rear view

Yeah, more than miles
Yeah, I've been changing lanes without my mirrors
'Cause every time I look behind me I see her
I think I just realized how much I need her (damn)

So I'm turning back to Georgia
Stopping short of Tennessee
I can't put my dreams before her
Man I need her here with me
'Cause that girl's in every song I sing
She's every song I write
And that six string ridin' in her seat
Can sleep in back tonight
Now I know what I'm suppose to do, yeah
There's still more than miles in my rear view

More than miles, yeah

More than miles
