Atlanta
Late afternoon, driving down the Parkway
Watching the sun set behind a brick horizon
Breathing in the nighttime city smells rising
Filling the air
And then I’m riding with you-
mirrored aviators and blonde hair
Driving way too fast
Destination: anywhere
Your song of the moment loud on the radio
Laughing at forgettable jokes, never meant to last
No real place to go
As the colorful traffic and people flash past
We never slowed down
Cuz we might have realized something was wrong
Looking at me while singing a favorite song
Slow dances down the supermarket aisles
Losing lifetimes in every single smile
All the parties and countless drinks
Always attracted to where the glasses clink
Happy Heart slowly surrounds
As we melt into the revelry of downtown
Too young and beautiful to care
You were always looking for something better out there
A small town girl attracted to the big city lights
But did u ever find what we were looking for on those big city nights?
