Lyrics
Highway signs go rollin by
The truck in fronts too wide to look around
Just like our love went wrong
We waited much too long to work it out.
pre-ch
That's why I'm leaving,
This big ol' southern town,
She's just too complicated for me to stick around.
Chorus
Atlanta let me go
I don't matter to her any more.
Now I've a chance I didn't have before.
Atlanta let me go.
V2
Oh she had eyes for me
But other guys could see her look around
I was a fool to stay
But love got in the way and held me down.
That's why I'm leaving
This big 'ol southern town
I need to start believing In me so I don't drown.
