southern babylon (live) - ashley mcbryde lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
starin’ through a spiderweb where a windshield used to be
what’s left of the dashboard, the smell of gasoline
i can just make out one neon light south off through the trees
my feet took over walkin’ before my mind caught up with me
when i walked in my tab was already open
my drink was poured and my cigarette was smokin’

[chorus]
and somebody said “hey girl, where you been? doncha know i been waitin’ for ya?
got a band up there been dyin’ to play a little ‘devil went down to georgia’
so rest that trav’lin’ soul, looks like the road was long
welcome to southern babylon”

[verse 2]
i had to pull myself together and ask to use the phone
the waitress smiled this wicked grin, it sent a chill right through my bone
i said “i need to call the tow-truck, some way to move along”
she said, “who you wanna call now that you’ve been called home?”

[chorus]
and she said “hey girl, where you been? doncha know i been waitin’ for ya?
i got a band up there just dyin’ to play a little ‘hotel california’
so maybe it’s not sinkin’ in, but you’ll learn to play along
honey, you been gone since you walked into southern babylon”

[verse 3]
i’m not supposed to be here, bartender don’t you see?
i took a gig down in atlanta and the brakes gave out on me
she said, “we know all about you and it’s a little bit too late”
and she handed me a guitar and pointed to the flames

[chorus]
“hey girl, where you been? doncha know i been waitin’ for ya?
i got a band up there just dyin’ to play a little ‘devil went down to georgia’
rest that trav’lin’ soul, looks like the road was long
welcome to southern babylon”
southern babylon
welcome to southern babylon
