Met a man in Nashville with a sweet Southern drawl He smelled of leather and alcohol He played his guitar just like he played me With zero affection, he gave me the gift of rejection I met a guy in Chicago, he wore his heart on his sleeve A sure-fire good time until I had to leave He'd called me on the phone, but I was never at home He taught me a lеsson, that I gots to be present So Mr. Atlanta from south Alabama It's truе that we've only just met And I don't know if I love you But I know, yeah, I know, I want to Yeah, I want to Kissed a boy from my hometown twenty years of age Although in spirit, he seemed twenty-eight We swam in the moonlight baring more than our souls I learned I could go there and I learned that I could care So Mr. Atlanta from south Alabama It's true that we've only just met No, I don't know if I love you But I know, yeah, I know I want to (I know, I know, I know, I know) I want to, yeah I kept on falling for the wrong kind of love I kept on falling but it just wasn't enough I got so used to a broken, jagged, crooked heart But now I thank my lucky stars For Mr. Atalanta from south Alabama It's true that we've only just met And I don't know if I love you But I know, yeah, I know (I know, I know, I know, I know) For Mr. Atalanta from south Alabama It's true that we've only just met And I don't know if I love you But I know, all I know is I want you (I know, I know, I know, I know)
