Lyrics

[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
