Mr. Atlanta

Met a man in Nashville with a sweet southern drawl
He smelled of leather and alcohol
He played his guitar just like he played me
There was zero affection, give me the gift of rejection
I met a guy in Chicago, he wore his heart on his sleeve
A sure-fire good time until I had to leave
He called me on the phone, but I was never at home
He taught me a lesson, that I gots to be present

So, Mr. Atlanta from South Alabama
It's true that we've only just met
No, I don't know if I love you
But I know, yeah, I know I want to
Yeah, I want to, yeah

Kissed a boy from my hometown, twenty years of age
Although in spirit, he seemed twenty-eight
We swam in the moonlight, baring more than I showed
I learned I could go there and I learned that I could care

So, Mr. Atlanta from South Alabama
It's true that we've only just met
No, I don't know if I love you
But I know (I know, I know, I know), yeah, I know I want to
I want to, yeah

I kept on falling for the wrong kind of love
I kept on calling, but it just wasn't enough
I got so used to a broken, jagged, crooked heart
But now I thank my lucky stars

For Mr. Atlanta from South Alabama
It's true that we've only just met
And I don't know if I love you
But I know (I know, I know, I know), yeah, I know
Mr. Atlanta from South Alabama
It's true that we've only just met
And I don't know if I love you
But I know (I know, I know, I know), all I know is I want you
