Defiance GA

from Poetry and Protest by Tom Alter

lyrics

Well it's true that we have shared some good times
And it's true that those moments melted away
But when I think my place is to be near you
You indicate you'd rather I don't stay

Should I now just move on from Savannah
Should I stop and quietly take my leave
And even though this city's the prettiest place I've ever seen
I'm feeling Georgia's not the place for me

No I can't say it's just about the water
Or the red clay that I feel in my bones
It's the hurting if I granted you your wishes
I would be leaving the only home I've known

Should I now just move on to Atlanta
Should I blend in on those city streets
And even though the city's the biggest place I've ever been
I get the feeling Georgia has no place for me

I've done my best to try to live together
And I get the message you want me to read
Still every time you turn around s corner
You'll stand the chance you'll see the likes of me

No I will not just move on from Savannah
I will not just quietly take my leave
And even though defiance is not a thing you want to see
Get used to it you're seeing it from me
