[00:13.59] Born from hippies back in ‘69
[00:20.57] I was bored by 1992
[00:27.68] I walked into a recruitment office a year before that
[00:34.64] Said ‘son we’ve been waiting for you’
[00:42.16] Discharged from a Gulf War the very same year
[00:49.10] I came home with a car and a tomb
[00:56.45] Of cigarettes and mixtapes and bullets from a gun
[01:03.51] That my dead best friend never could use
[01:09.28]
[01:10.18] Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you
[01:17.46] Let your sweaty embrace open wide
[01:24.55] ‘Cause Atlanta, I’m falling like most people do
[01:32.39] And I need all your ground to survive
[01:48.39]
[01:50.11] Wasted and down trodden along the hidden vein
[01:56.47] I cried myself blind at the sight
[02:03.44] Of the old shopping center where we used to ride
[02:10.43] Now condos as sterile as I
[02:17.23] So I bought me an old Airstream for 3,000 bucks
[02:24.05] From a drug dealer I used to owe
[02:31.12] And I thought to myself as I slept off a high
[02:38.64] The irony is starting to show
[02:44.57]
[02:45.06] Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you
[02:52.10] Let your sweaty embrace open wide
[02:59.29] ‘Cause Atlanta, I’m falling like some people do
[03:07.02] And I need all your ground to survive
[03:22.33]
[03:24.65] Drove out to Asheville, ‘cause that’s where you were
[03:31.24] Where you married into money and pills
[03:38.15] And I wanted so bad to be good with you now
[03:45.38] But the fact is that you never will
[03:51.86] Cause some become lovers because of sex
[03:58.60] And some, you know, they just become friends
[04:03.49] Heyyyy
[04:05.52] In our case, we just became bad at it all
[04:12.42] And never got good at it again
[04:17.38]
[04:19.45] Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you
[04:27.04] Let your sweaty embrace open wide
[04:34.40] ‘Cause Atlanta, I’m suffocating like some people do
[04:42.41] And I need all your air to survive
[04:54.31]
