Savannah - Parmalee

Everybody’s got that girl, you know the one that got away

I really don’t know why but I was thinkin' 'bout her today

I love the way she said «Georgia»

With that seet little Southern drawl

And how she whispered «Baby»

As the mossy oak’s shadow would fall

If whiskey was a time machine

I would try to drink her back to me

There are highways and byways

Running East, West, North and South

And you could sail into the harbor

See the planes touching down

But I’ve burned up every bridge

Just like Sherman did

Comin' down from Atlanta

I know there ain’t no way back to Savannah, no, no

Yeah I had sonme big city dreams

Headed out on my own

To the bright lights and the neon sky

Left her there all alone

This photograph is the only map

As the memory disappears

And the truth is, you can’t get there from here

There are highways and byways

Running East, West, North and South

And you could sail into the harbor

See the planes touching down

But I’ve burned up every bridge

Just like Sherman did

Comin' down from Atlanta

I know there ain’t no way back to Savannah, no, no

Yeah if whiskey was a time machine

I would try to drink her back to me

'Cause there are highways and byways

Running East, West, North and South

And you could sail into a harbor

See the planes touching down

But I’ve burned up every bridge

Just like Sherman did

Comin' down from Atlanta

I know there ain’t no way back to Savannah

No, no, no, oh

No, no, no, oh

Everybody’s got that girl

I’ve got mine in black and white

I really don’t know why but I’m calling her tonight
