If You Ever Leave Atlanta

(album: Heart On Ice - 2023)

Headed north up 75 in a December Georgia rain that'll cut right through ya'
I stopped off for a can of snuff and a cup of coffee outside of Chattanooga
I'd turn this truck around, but my heart can't go back there
Girl, I know you're gone for good, but you didn't go nowhere

As long as you're out Friday nights
Dancing in them Buckhead bars
Underneath them Peachtree lights
You won't find me where you are
I hate how that whole town is somewhere I can't go
Kinda wish I never had ya'
If you ever leave Atlanta, let me know

I sure hate thinking about missing out on a Braves game with my dad
If the Dawgs go back this year to Mercedes-Benz, I'm gonna wanna go real bad
But there ain't a chance in hell that I'll make either one
Close as I'll get to ATL is Milledgeville 441

As long as you're out Friday nights
Dancing in them Buckhead bars
Underneath them Peachtree lights
You won't find me where you are
I hate how that whole town is somewhere I can't go
Kinda wish I never had ya'
If you ever leave Atlanta, let me know, baby

I'd love to drink a beer or two
At Moon Dogs or The Attitude
That's something I can't do
'Cause I might run into you

As long as you're out Friday nights
Dancing in them Buckhead bars
Underneath them Peachtree lights
You won't find me where you are
I hate how that whole town is somewhere I can't go
Kinda wish I never had ya'
If you ever leave Atlanta, let me know

You gotta let me know
If you ever leave, if you ever leave
If you ever leave Atlanta, let me know
