Southern Babylon

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Starin' through a spider web where the 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' 'fore 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? Don't ya know I been waitin' for ya? I've got a band up there been dyin' to play a little 'Devil Went Down to Georgia' Rest that travelin' 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 a wicked grin, it sent a chill right to 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] She said, "Hey girl, where you been? Don't you know I been waitin' for ya? You got a band up there just dyin' to play a little 'Hotel California' And 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 ya, it's a little bit too late" She handed me a guitar and pointed to the flames [Chorus] "Hey girl, where you been? Don't ya know I been waitin' for ya? You got a band up there just dyin' to play a little 'Devil Went Down to Georgia' Rest that travelin' soul, looks like the road was long Welcome to Southern Babylon" [Outro] Southern Babylon Welcome to Southern Babylon Welcome home
