Just finished this one. I know you guys are gonna give me a hard time about the AABB rhyming but I swear it really works on this one. You can listen to a demo of it here http://www.myspace.com/johnnymainstream


Georgia

Georgia was a friend of mine
spent her time on my mind
took a plane down to the coast
now we ain't friends no more
California ripped my heart in two
what's a boy like me to do
a foolish child first tastes defeat
a broke writer heads back east

boy don't you want
what you can't have
but you can defend
those nights you spent
alone

Dakota took me to her bed
I never spoke to her again
a whisper in the dead of night
a summer's breeze taking flight
Missouri wanted me to stay
I couldn't let her down that way
I danced with her beneath wedding bells
gave back her heart and said farewell

and girl don't you want
what you can't have
but you can defend
those nights you spent
alone

Nebraska stole my first guitar
and carved her name into my arm
a carrot dangling on a stick
a good old fashion western flick
Virginia was a wrecking ball
making way through city hall
I think of her from time to time
whenever hotels cross my mind

but boy don't you want
what you can't have
but you can defend
those nights you spent
those nights you spent
alone.
