Atl Lyrics - Sycamore Meadows - Butch Walker

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

Songs That Will Make You Cry Uncontrollably 

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 

Photos 

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
