Drinking in the concrete

(Verse 1)

Sunrise through the smog, another day begins

Steel and glass canyons where the cold wind spins

Remember mornings on the lake, the mist hangin' low

Now it's just echoes of a life I used to know

(Verse 2)

Used to cast my line where the bass run deep

Now I just cast a glance at faces in their sleep

Remember your laugh, like the river's gentle flow

Now it's just the clink of ice, watchin' the hours go

(Chorus)

These city lights blur through a whiskey haze

Thinkin' 'bout you in those Carolina days

Creek water and pines, fireflies at night

Now it's just neon signs and this achin' in my side

(Verse 3)

Traded fireflies for streetlights, crickets for car horns

This ain't the life I pictured, feels like a thousand thorns

Remember dancin' slow beneath the Georgia moon

Now it's just lonely nights, wishin' I'd come home soon

(Verse 4)

Left you standin' there, beneath the Georgia pines

Said I needed somethin' more, different designs

Now I'm drownin' in regret, a sea of concrete gray

Wish I could turn back time, and just stay, stay, stay

(Chorus)

These city lights blur through a whiskey haze

Thinkin' 'bout you in those Carolina days

Creek water and pines, fireflies at night

Now it's just neon signs and this achin' in my side

(Outro)

Yeah, just neon signs and this bottle in my hand

Missin' you, missin' home, missin' that Southern land.
