Georgia To Texas Lyrics - Leon Bridges

504 black girl carried me 

In her womb to the land of the peach 

Her birthing pains brought me low 

But she held me high on Peachtree road 

Got my mother's eyes and my father's nose 

Also got brother's hand-me-down clothes 

We had no green but the love was strong 

It was all we'd need to get us along, get us along

Left ATL for the Texas way 

We drove 20 East in my daddy's '88 

I learned in school I didn't measure up 

I fell short of what true blackness was 

Mama taught the righteous way 

I set down that path but went astray 

Paid for love on a crescent moon 

In that Oklahoma motel room 

Kyree taught me chords to strum 

They got me through when I felt numb

504 black girl carried me 

504 black girl, black girl 

504 black girl carried me 

504 black girl carried me 

504 black girl carried me
