Athens

Just like an old country song
Woke up, knew something's wrong
I ain't where I'm supposed to be
Who's that breathing next to me?
Don't know where my old jeans went
Don't wanna know the rules I bent
Try to find my phone, but it's just dead
Just wanna go home, get out of this bed

I don't know where I am right now
But that it's a short, short ride back to that college town

Thank you Athens, for the headache again
All the regrets running through my head
Don't know why I keep comin' here
I know it ain't all the cheap beer
My friends and I, acted like fools
Don't know how I ever made it through school
I know, in two days I'll forget these mistakes
And come back to Athens, and the rules it breaks

Found my jeans under the nightstand
Tried to walk out, but I don't think I can
Is this a trailer? I think it's a doublewide
Don't even want to walk outside
That sun is banging on my brain
Noticed on my shirt a Natty stain
Where's my best friend? Get on up
Gotta get out of here in their truck

I don't know where I am right now
But that it's a short, short ride back to that college town

Thank you Athens, for the headache again
All the regrets running through my head
Don't know why I keep comin' here
I know it ain't all the cheap beer
My friends and I, acted like fools
Don't know how I ever made it through school
I know, in two days I'll forget these mistakes
And come back to Athens, and the rules it breaks

This Georgia town ain't that bad in June
Just wait til football season, you'll wake up and won't be able to move

Thank you Athens, for the headache again
All the regrets running through my head
Don't know why I keep comin' here
I know it ain't all the cheap beer
My friends and I, acted like fools
Don't know how I ever made it through school
I know, in two days I'll forget these mistakes
And come back to Athens, and the rules it breaks
