Atta Girl

(album: Bell Bottom Country - 2022)

Atta girl
Way to go
It was time
To hit the road
He's just a boy
In working boots
It didn't work so you cut him loose

Hey, atta girl
You thought it through
And what you did
Is hard to do
I bet you're thinking 'bout some things that you shouldn't
Just remember now and then that you're looking

At a girl who's got a damn good heart
And some big dreams up ahead
And now you got you a brand new start and both sides of a queen bed
He mighta took your love, mighta took your time
And the rug out from under your world
But he can't take all your happiness
Go and get it now, atta girl

He's at a bar
With his friends
That's where ya go
When it ends
They say, "Atta boy
Have another round
There's plenty girls
In this college town"
Then he meets one
That's hurting too
While he's kissing her
He's missing you
And now it's sinking in deep that he missed that train
He can throw back a drink but he can't throw blame

At a girl who's got a damn good heart
And some big dreams up ahead
And now you got you a brand new start and both sides of a queen bed
He mighta took your love, mighta took your time
And the rug out from under your world
But he can't take all your happiness
Go and get it now
Atta girl

At a girl who's got a damn good heart
And some big dreams up ahead
And now you got you a brand new start and both sides of a queen bed
He mighta took your love, mighta took your time
And the rug out from under your world
But he can't take all your happiness
Go and get it now
Atta girl

He mighta took your love, it'll take time
But you'll find your way in this world
Whatever's gonna bring you happiness
Go and get it now, atta girl
Go and get it now, atta girl
Yeah, you get it now, atta girl
