She caught the train to Georgia when the summer turned to ash,  
Left me standing in the doorway with her suitcase and my past.  
The wind was whispering secrets as the night began to fall,  
Now the stillness fills the silence like a shadow on the wall. 

She lies in Georgia, where the red clay meets the pine,  
Some say she found salvation, some say she crossed the line.  
She lies in Georgia, but the truth won’t let me sleep,  
‘Cause I can’t tell if it’s her sins or mine that cut so deep.  

Her words were soft as velvet, but her heart was hard as stone,  
I begged her not to leave me, but she had a will her own.  
I followed close behind her, through the pines and through the pain,  
Now the trees keep all our secrets, and I can’t outrun the rain.  

She lies in Georgia, where the red clay meets the pine,  
Some say she found salvation, some say she crossed the line.  
She lies in Georgia, but the truth won’t let me sleep,  
‘Cause I can’t tell if it’s her sins or mine that cut so deep.   

....She lies in Georgia.... 

There’s a weight beneath the soil, and it pulls against my chest,  
Like the roots of every promise that I broke when she confessed.  
I said I’d love her always, but the rage don’t know that word,  
And now her name’s the only prayer my shaking hands have ever heard. 

She lies in Georgia, where the red clay meets the pine,  
Some say she found salvation, some say she crossed the line.  
She lies in Georgia, but the truth won’t let me sleep,  
‘Cause I can’t tell if it’s her sins or mine that cut so deep.  

....She lies in Georgia.... 

She lies in Georgia, where the red clay meets the pine,  
Some say she found salvation, some say she crossed the line.  
She lies in Georgia, but the truth won’t let me sleep,  
‘Cause I can’t tell if it’s her sins or mine that cut so deep. 

She lies in Georgia....


She Lies in Georgia

What I Missed

28 MAY 2025

V1.
I must have missed the signals
That you were thinking of leaving me
So many things when I look back
That I wish I would have seen
I was caught up in myself, my job
My hobbies and my friends
And now I’m just here wondering
What else did I miss?

Chorus
Did I miss seeing you all dressed in white
Walking the aisle on our wedding day?
Did I miss the kids we were supposed to share
And celebrating each birthday?
Did I miss late nights holding you tight
And waking up to your sweet kiss?
Now the rest of my life you’ll be on my mind
Wondering what I missed.

V2.
I’m raising up the white flag
I come in peace. Talk to me.
When I look into the future
You’ll be my highest priority.
The only thing I want to be caught up in
Are your hugs and your kisses
I never want to ever have to wonder
What else did I miss.

Chorus
I can’t wait to see you dressed in white
Walking the aisle on our wedding day.
I can’t wait to meet our children
And to watch them laugh and play.
I won’t be self-absorbed like I was before
Please give me another shot at this
Because I never want to wake up lonely
And wondering what I missed.

Bridge
So please give me another chance to make it right
‘Cos Girl I’m missing you tonight

Chorus
Did I miss seeing you all dressed in white
Walking the aisle on our wedding day?
Did I miss the kids we were supposed to share
And celebrating each birthday?
Did I miss late nights holding you tight
And waking up to your sweet kiss?
Now the rest of my life you’ll be on my mind
Wondering what I missed

What I Missed (2025)

DUST ON MY NAME

This Country Sucks

Zane Riptide Live at Sam's Raw bar

Dreams to Dream

“Back For Me” is a quiet, powerful meditation on the humility and grace that come when a lost love finds its way home—years, even decades, after goodbye. It’s not a song about regret. It’s a song about enduring love—the kind that lives in silence, matures with time, and returns not with fanfare, but with truth.

With aching vocals and a timeless folk-rock arrangement, Tim Cooney captures the emotional reckoning of being seen again by someone who once knew your soul—and still does. Part of The Journeyman soundtrack, this track echoes the memoir’s central theme: it’s never too late to begin again.
