Lyrics -
Headin' west on 20, just past Birmingham
Not sure where I'm going, I just can't turn back again
And I got headlights on the highway
I got a heart that's away back home
And a picture of a life I lost to remind me why I'm gone
And that's why I left Atlanta
I drove away in a early mornin' haze
Yes, that's why I left Atlanta
Me and Georgia seen our better days
Settled outside of the city and bought a house and a little land
Built our hopes on dreamin' till those dreams got out of hand
And I was after something I could never be
And I guess she finally grew too tired of waitin' 'round on me
And that's why I left Atlanta
I drove away in a early mornin' haze
Yes, that's why I left Atlanta
Me and Georgia seen our better days
I wish you could've held on a little longer
I wish I could've been a little stronger
God knows things don't always work out like you plan
Well, I could tell you my story I just don't know how it will end
So I'll keep right on drivin' till I run out of gas
I start again where I end up, ain't no use in lookin' back
And that's why I left Atlanta
I drove away in a early mornin' haze
Yes, that's why I left Atlanta
Me and Georgia seen our better days
Me and Georgia seen our better days
