There's something about the Georgia summer afternoons
When the sun goes down and the air gets cool
And it's home to me
It's home to me
And I've been missing that place too much, it seems
Gave up any home just to find my dreams
And it's weighing on me
Oh, it's weighing on me
Hey now, it's weighing on me
But I'm only just one second short
Of calling this my aim
If I gave you something different
Would you call it the same?
But I'm only just one person
Who am I to disagree?
If I gave you simple reasons
Would you still be questioning me?
I climbed a mountain simply looking for advice
And all I found were children playing
Innocent and nice
Everyone was peaceful
And everyone polite
No one to whisper dreams
One thought to be apart of life
I'm only just one second short
Of calling this my aim
If I gave you something different
Would you call it the same?
But I'm only just one person
Who am I to disagree?
If I gave you simple reasons
Would you still be questioning me?
I found a poor man once
He was the age of fifty-three
He spoke about the government
And the thought of being free
What good does us reason if we fail to see?
What good does us freedom if we fail to be free?
When the sun goes down and the air gets cool
And it's home to me
It's home to me
And I've been missing that place too much, it seems
Gave up any home just to find my dreams
And it's weighing on me
Oh, it's weighing on me
Hey now, it's weighing on me
Of calling this my aim
If I gave you something different
Would you call it the same?
But I'm only just one person
Who am I to disagree?
If I gave you simple reasons
Would you still be questioning me?
And all I found were children playing
Innocent and nice
Everyone was peaceful
And everyone polite
No one to whisper dreams
One thought to be apart of life
Of calling this my aim
If I gave you something different
Would you call it the same?
But I'm only just one person
Who am I to disagree?
If I gave you simple reasons
Would you still be questioning me?
He was the age of fifty-three
He spoke about the government
And the thought of being free
What good does us reason if we fail to see?
What good does us freedom if we fail to be free?

I think it's "I'm only just one second short of calling this my AIM" rhymes with the second sentence better anyway. Really like this song.
i actually live in Georgia, and i whenever i just feel like i need to get away, i want out of the state. but when i think about it, i love this place. and it's the same feeling he has here.
it just seems like he's confused about his life and everything, and he feels a little bit more together when he's home, even if he's really not any better.
i can completely relate to this song and it's so great. Cartel's new album's very good. and they're nice guys too, i've met them!

"What good does us freedom if we fail to be free?"
that line sends chills up my spine everytime i hear it
Um the lyrics are wrong. It's
"I'm only just one second short of calling this my aim If I gave you something diffrent would you call it the same? But I'm only just one person Who am I to disagree? If I gave you simple reasons Would you still be questioning me?" And "No one to whisper dreams one thought to be apart of life"
i lived in georgia for a while... left my home in ohio to go there. i loved it there but i missed my family and friends too much and i came back. i sometimes regret coming back here. georgia, even without the ones i love, felt like home.

This really is a good song, but I live in Georgia....and I don't see how he could ever think of this place as home.
I don't think this song has anything to do with Georgie specifically, just the place that you think of as home. Maybe you grew up some place, but once you could go to college or whatever, you moved far away, and didn't come back until a long time later, when you had such a heavy burden to go back to you beginnings (the verses). When you're there, you wonder how your life would be different if you never left (the chorus), but then you're reminded that it doesn't really matter, as long as you keep on using your right to live (last stanza).
