Video Atl de Butch Walker 2024 Lyrics Lyrics

Butch Walker - Atl Lyrics

Born from hippies in 1969
Bored by 1992
Walked into a recruitment office the year before that
they said Son we've been waiting for you
Discharged from the gulf war the very same year
Came home with a carton or two
Of cigarettes, mixtapes, and bullets from a gun
My dead best friend never did use

Oh Atlanta please need me
Like I needed you
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
Cuz Atlanta I've fallen
Like some people do
And I need all your ground to survive

wasted, downtrodden, and lonely in vain
I cried myself blind at the site
Of the old shopping center where we used to ride
Now condos as sterile as i
I bought an old airstream for 3000 bucks
From a drug dealer I used to owe
I thought to myself as I slept off a high
The irony's starting to show

Oh Atlanta please need me
Like I needed you
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
Cuz Atlanta I'm suffocating
Like some people do
And I need all your air to survive

I drove out to Asheville cuz 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 that you never Will
Because some become lovers because of the sex
Sometimes they just become friends
In our case, I just became bad at it all
And never got good at it again

Oh Atlanta please need me
Like I needed you
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
Cuz Atlanta I've fallen
Like some people do
And I need all your ground to survive
