If I could make it to Atlanta without stoppin’
I could drop in for a bite
And you might not recognize me, it’s surprising
how things change in different light
If you don’t feel the way you used to I don’t blame you
it’s just time making new wounds
Like a joke that’s dropped too soon
I remember when you told me all your secrets
couldn’t keep them to yourself
And you didn’t even know me, still you showed me
all your trinkets on your shelf
Throwin’ cards out on the table, but it’s unstable
And one day they all will fall
No excuses left at all
And I’m sorry to stop by so unexpected
And I’m sorry you’ve been feeling so neglected
Like the water on the stove it’s boiling over
We can’t control it
It’s overflowing
It’s overflowing
It’s nice work if you can get it, I recommend it
Dottin’ t’s and crossin’ eyes
But we never learn our lessons, second guessin’
Thinkin’ thoughts and sighin’ sighs
We’ll never make it out of Georgia, cause I warned ya
There’s a speed trap round the bend
And no money left to spend
And I’m sorry to stop by so unexpected
And I’m sorry you’ve been feeling so neglected
Like the water on the stove it’s boiling over
We can’t control it
It’s overflowing
It’s overflowing
It’s overflowing
Overflowing
It’s overflowing
In the morning, when it’s stormin, I hope you stay dry
If it never gets better, I hope you know I tried
At least I tried
