Savannah

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Everybody's got that girl, you know the one that got away I really don't know why but I was thinking 'bout her today I loved the way she'd say Georgia With that sweet little southern drawl And how she whispered "baby" As the mossy oak shadows would fall If whiskey was a time machine, I would try to drink her back to me [Chorus] There are highways and byways Running east, west, north, and south And you can sail into the harbor, see the planes touching down But I burned up every bridge Just like Sherman did coming down from Atlanta And I know there ain't no way back to Savannah, no, no, oh, woah [Verse 2] Yeah, I had some 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 a memory disappears And the truth is you can't get there from here [Chorus] 'Cause there are highways and byways Running east, west, north, and south And you can sail into the harbor, see the planes touching down But I burned up every bridge Just like Sherman did coming down from Atlanta And I know there ain't no way back to Savannah, no, no, oh, woah [Break] Yeah If whiskey was a time machine I would try to drink her back to me [Chorus] 'Cause there are highways and byways Running east, west, north, and south And you can sail into the harbor, see the planes touching down But I burned up every bridge Just like Sherman did coming down from Atlanta And I know there ain't no way back to Savannah No, no, no, oh, woah No, no, no, oh, woah [Outro] 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
