ATL |
Born from hippies back in 1969 |
I was bored by 1992 |
I walked into a recruitment office a year before that |
They said «Son, we’ve been waiting for you» |
Discharged from the Gulf War the very same year |
I came home with a carton or two |
Of cigarettes and mixtapes and bullets from a gun |
That my dead best friend never did use |
Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you |
Let your sweaty embrace open wide |
Cause Atlanta, I’m falling like most people do |
And I need all your ground to survive |
Wasted and downtrodden, only in vain |
I cried myself blind at the sight |
Of the old shopping center where we used to ride |
Now condos as sterile as I |
So I bought me an old Airstream for three thousand bucks |
From a drug dealer I used to owe |
And I thought to myself as I slept off a high |
The irony is starting to show |
Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you |
Let your sweaty embrace open wide |
Cause Atlanta, I’m falling like some people do |
And I need all your ground to survive |
Drove out to Asheville ‘cause 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, I never will |
Because some become lovers because of the sex |
And some you know, they just become friends |
In our case I just became bad at it all |
And I never got good at it again |
Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you |
Let your sweaty embrace open wide |
Cause Atlanta, I’m suffocating like some people do |
And I need all your air to survive |
