"Tuesday in Georgia" original song by Kari Fleskes
KariFleskes
Okay, it's 1:30 AM and I'm falling asleep where I sit so bare with me. lol
An old friend from college called him at 2 AM;
The years have been to hell and back but, buddy, how you been?
He said, "I landed in some trouble, and I'm holding a smoking gun.
The lights are coming for me, man, but I'm too afraid to run."
(Chorus:)
So he prayed while he cried
when they caught him red-handed
at the edge of the county line.
He's down, but he'll climb,
just hoping that his Mama can still look him in the eye.
And he found the Lord again, on a Tuesday in Georgia.
Midnight was curfew and she's three hours late;
the boyfriend and the fake ID convinced her to have a drink.
Well, she swore she was fine to drive but drove it way too fast;
the deer came out of nowhere and she flipped to the left.
(Chorus:)
She prayed while she cried,
as the car took her under beneath the empty sky
She's down but she'll climb,
just hoping that her daddy can forgive her for the lie.
She found the Lord again,
on a Tuesday in Georgia.
I left alone again, 'cause we had nothing left to say;
Then a stranger with a knife said, "Baby, what's your name?"
Well, he pushed it to my throat and said, "Let's go for a ride,
I want to get to know you more off Highway 59."
(Chorus:)
So I prayed while I cried,
and I ran so hard it hurt, then I tried my best to fight.
And I'm down, but I'll climb,
fighting so my babies can still kiss me goodnight.
And I found the Lord again,
on a Tuesday in Georgia.
