i was diving with some friends in the river by my house
slipped mid-sentence lost my step and fell the whole way down
now i’m floating above my body washing in the shore
can’t help but wondering what i’m drifting towards
i’ve always been good, i’ve always been fair
not cuz i prayed it would get me anywhere
but now that forever is coming on fast i got one request for ya
oh heaven send me back to georgia
i was buried on a tuesday shortly after noon
watched my mother and my sister cry in the guest room
yeah it’s nice to see them talking but i wish i could say
since you’re wondering, she’ll be ok
we’ll all be ok
i’ve always been good, i’ve always been fair
not cuz i prayed it would get me anywhere
but now that forever is spreading out fast i got one request for ya
oh heaven send me back to georgia
if you see him squeeze his hand and maybe rub his back
he always shines a little brighter when someone does that
and if he’s thirsty for a taste of ambrosia and wine
sit him down in magnolia and pine
it’s always hard saying goodbye
not cuz of the ground but cuz of the sky
swollen around us, holding us down
til it’s time to explore it
oh heaven oh heaven oh heaven
send me back to georgia
