lyrics

THE OTHER SIDE OF ATLANTA

moving just like clockwork
stealing under the gun
looking out the tattered screen
pretending she's the one
waiting for a simple time
to stash our dreams away
fading like the morning stars
fade away

and it's fifteen miles to the other side of atlanta
that's where my baby's crawling up the vine
and it's fifteen miles to the other side of atlanta
we're gonna take some time
we're gonna take all night

driving through the red lights
sleepin' at the wheel
for half the day and all the night
i could hardly feel
her skin was wrapped around my soul
like the cover of a book
she's got a due date chiseled on her back
no time to look away

and it's fifteen miles to the other side of atlanta
that's where my baby's crawling up the vine
and it's fifteen miles to the other side of atlanta
we're gonna take some time
we're gonna take all night

looking over my shoulder
there's nothing left to see
except the dust of other days gone by
and they're all lost on me
we pull into the parking lot
get out and walk around
she said "if it is, then i guess it's not"
and promptly hit the ground

and it's fifteen miles to the other side of atlanta
that's where my baby's crawling up the vine
and it's fifteen miles to the other side of atlanta
we're gonna take some time
we're gonna take all night
