[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]
