Atlanta Anymore

歌詞

Inside a suit coat pocket in the back of his closet today She found a letter among the bills he forgot to pay It was addressed to a woman A name she'd never seen before It started out, I'm sorry But I won't be in Atlanta anymore As she read the words he'd written She found it hard to believe her eyes At first she was angry then slowly she began to cry 'Cause somewhere down in Georgia He'd taken off the wedding ring he wore And it didn't help a whole lot knowin' That he won't be in Atlanta anymore He said I won't be in Atlanta anymore And I'm sorry that I lied to you before The truth is I got a wife and two children three and four And I won't be in Atlanta anymore At the bottom of the last page He'll never know the P.S. that she wrote 'Cause she folded up the pages And slipped them back into the envelope Then she took the goodbye letter And dropped it in the mailbox on the porch She thought, the woman ought to know That Atlanta's not a secret anymore She wrote, he won't be in Atlanta anymore And I don't know why he lied to you before But, God knows, I still love him and I'm just makin' sure That he won't be in Atlanta anymore He wrote it and she mailed it He won't be in Atlanta anymore
