Xavier Lewis - Georgia Clay Lyrics

Bussin my tail on a 9 to 5
Just to keep up
Try to stay alive
Promise my lady we gone be alright
She be crying
While she praying for a better life

Hustling on the side for a bag of rice
Gotta feed the fam
Gotta pay the price
Gotta keep trucking
Thru this Georgia Clay
Gotta stay searching for a better day
Gotta keep my faith
He'll make a way
Gotta get extended
So the gas get paid

Sweet Georgia hold me down
Keep my feet
Planted on solid ground
From the New York cold
To the Florida shine
Up to the Maryland DC line
Back down south
Where the peach is prime
Sweet Georgia's where I reside

Tell me why do I have to cry out
Tell me why should I even fret
Tell me why
Should I worry bout anything
Tell me why
Should I lose my head yeah

Tell me why do I have to cry out
Tell me why should I even fret
Tell me why would I
Think about trying to doubt
When I could just
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Sweet Georgia
Georgia

(Claaay)

(Heeey)

(Tryna make it thru this Georgia)
Sweet Georgia

(Heeey)
Georgia Clay

Looking in the mirror
Trying to find my way
Staring in space
Dreaming of a day
I been fishing for a blessing
Just to hear you say
Well done son
Now the price is paid
(Ooooh)

But my shoulders weighed
From the burdens laid
Knuckles bruised
From mistakes I made

Sweet Georgia
Hold me down
Keep my feet
Planted on solid ground

Tell me why do I have to cry out
(Ooooh)
Tell me why should I even fret
(Oooh yeah)
Tell me why should I
Worry bout anything
(Oh my)
Tell me why
Should I lose my head yeah

Tell me why do I have to cry out
(Heeey)
Tell me why should I even fret
(Yeah)
Tell me why would I
Think about trying to doubt
(When I could)
When I could just
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Im just sangin the truth
(Oooh my)
Southern trees bare strange fruit
My roots run deep
In this Georgia Clay
(Yeah heeey)
