Atlanta

VERSE: You have watched the storm clouds roll Past the lighthouse and the shore Beyond the breakers they do go Where they’ll end up I don’t know And when this weather finally breaks I wanna feel the sun upon my face Although many things will change That is one which stays the same And all the tears I’ve cried If I can make it there I’ll see you on the other side All I never learned Cause I’m a thousand miles from Atlanta Beneath a thousand pounds of hurt VERSE: In this desert where I sleep   You wait for rain like it’s make believe Where I’m from the earth she bleeds Dark red clay beneath my feet And if I’m forced to travel on And end up further from my home To live forever here alone Well I don’t think I’ll last this long And all the tears I’ve cried If I can make it there I’ll see you on the other side All I never learned Cause I’m a thousand miles from Atlanta VERSE: Seems this road just does not end And I am dead to all my friends If I could compromise or bend Perhaps I might be born again And as I wait for shooting stars On a night that’s painful dark I fall asleep in moving cars When I wake up I won’t care where we are And all the tears I’ve cried If I can make it there I’ll see you on the other side All I never learned Cause I’m a thousand miles from Atlanta
