Why I Left Atlanta - Jack Ingram

Headin' west on 20, just past Birmingham

Not sure where I’m goin' I just know I can’t turn around

I got headlights on the highway, a heart that’s away back home

And a picture of a life I lost to remind me why I’m gone

And that’s why I left Atlanta

I drove away in a early mornin' haze

Yeah, that’s why I left Atlanta

Me and Georgia have seen our better days

Settled outside the city, bought a house and a little land

Built our hopes on dreamin' 'til those dreams got out of hand

And I was after something I could never be

I guess you finally grew too tired of waitin' around on me

And that’s why I left Atlanta

I drove away in a early mornin' haze

Yeah, that’s why I left Atlanta

Me and Georgia have seen our better days

I wish you could’ve held on a little longer

Lord, I wish I could’ve been a little stronger

God knows things don’t always work out like we plan

I could tell you my story, I just don’t know how it will end

So I’ll keep right on drivin' 'til I run out of gas

And start again where I end up, 'cause there ain’t no lookin' back

That’s why I left Atlanta

Drove away in a early mornin' haze

Yeah, that’s why I left Atlanta

Me and Georgia have seen our better days

And that’s why I left Atlanta

I drove away in a early mornin' haze

Yeah, that’s why I left Atlanta

Me and Georgia have seen our better days

Me and Georgia have seen our better days
