BUTCH WALKER - Atlanta lyrics

rate me

Born from hippies in 1969

Bored by 1992

I Walked into a recruitment office they said

Son we've been looking for you

Discharged from the gulf war the very same year

Came home with a carton or two

Of cigarettes, mixtapes, and bullets from a gun

My dead best friend never did use

Oh Atlanta please need me

Like I needed you

Let your sweaty embrace open wide

Cuz Atlanta I've fallen

Like some people do

And I need all your ground to survive

(cuz Atlanta I'm smothered like

Some people get

And I need all your air to survive)

Wasted, downtrodden, and lonely in vain

I cried myself to sleep at the site

Of the old shopping center where we used to ride

Now condos as sterile as I

I bought an old airstream for 3000 bucks

From a drug dealer I used to owe

I thought to myself as I slept off a high

The irony's starting to show

[ Butch Walker Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]

Oh Atlanta please need me

Like I needed you

Let your sweaty embrace open wide

Cuz Atlanta I've fallen

Like some people do

And I need all your ground to survive

(cuz Atlanta I'm smothered like

Some people get

And I need all your air to survive)

I drove out to Asheville cuz that's where you were

Where you married into money and pills

And I wanted so bad to be good with you now

But the fact is that you never Will

Because some become lovers because of the sex

Sometimes they just become friends

In our case, I just became bad at it all

And never got good at it again

Oh Atlanta please need me

Like I needed you

Let your sweaty embrace open wide

Cuz Atlanta I've fallen

Like some people do

And I need all your ground to survive

(Cuz Atlanta I'm smothered like

Some people get

And I need all your air to survive)<br />
