[Any Given Thursday Version]

Fold me up
Take me out
I'm portable

Fold me up
Take me out
I'm portable

Well out here
We have anything we want
We have anything we want at all

Out here, we just bolt it to the floor 
Tape it to the wall

Rolling with a satellite
Watching the Cosby Show on Nick at Nite
I'm weird but I feel alright
I am a soldier now

Fold me up, fold me up
Take me out, take me out
I’m portable

Fold me up, fold me up
Take me out, take me out
I'm portable

Out here, we're just singin', playin' whatever we feel
And the threat of falling out of bed at night is real
When you're traveling on a box with 18 wheels

If I can go anywhere at all, if I can go anywhere at all
If I can go anywhere at all
If I can go anywhere, anywhere

And if I can go anywhere at all
And if I could go anywhere at all
I mean if I really, really, really can go anywhere at all

Won’t you tell me why, why, why, 
Why Georgia why

I am driving up 85 in the kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
Just stuck inside the gloom, yeah
Four more exits to my apartment, but I am tempted to keep the car in drive 
And leave this shit behind

'Cause I wonder sometimes
About the outcome
Of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right?
Am I Living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why, why Georgia why?

I rent a room and I fill the spaces with wood in places
To make it feel like home
But all I feel is alone

It might be a quarter life crisis
Or just the stirring in my soul, who knows
Either way I wonder sometimes
About the outcome of a still verdictless life, oh yeah

Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why, why Georgia why

Ladies and gentlemen, the B-Ham choir…

Don't believe me, when I say I’ve got it down
Everybody's just a stranger, but that's the danger of going my own way
This is the price I’m going to pay

Still everything happens for a reason is no reason 
Not to ask myself if I am living it right
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?

Why, tell me why, why, why, why
Why Georgia, why?

Yeah! Thank you so very much, say hello to Michael Chaves 
Playing the keyboard and guitar this evening...
Now we’re talkin’, now we’re talkin’

[Room for Squares Version]

I am driving up 85 in the
kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
just stuck inside the gloom

Four more exits to my apartment but
I am tempted to keep the car in drive
and leave it all behind

Cause I wonder sometimes
about the outcome
of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why, why Georgia, why?

I rent a room and I fill the spaces with
wood in places to make it feel like home
but all I feel's alone
It might be a quarter life crisis
or just the stirring in my soul

Either way, I wonder sometimes
about the outcome
of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why, why Georgia, why?

So what, so I've got a smile on me
but it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
Don't believe me
Don't believe me
When I say I've got it down

Everybody is just a stranger but
that's the danger in going my own way
I guess it's the price I have to pay
still "Everything happens for a reason"
is no reason not to ask myself

If your're living it right
Are you living it right?
Are you living it right?
Why, tell me why
Why, why Georgia why?
