Lyrics
When I got back to Atlanta
Returning to Atlanta
A whole lot worse for the wear
In a considerably worn-out state
I may have lost the world I love
Possibly lost a cherished world
But at least I had been there
Despite losses, grateful for the experience
Lonesome, hurt and worried
Feeling lonely, hurt, and anxious
With not a lot to do
Limited activities to engage in
Driving down Stone Mountain Road
Driving on Stone Mountain Road
Trying not to think of you
Consciously avoiding thoughts of a specific person
The southern woods are warm
Warmth in the southern woods
And still
Continued warmth in memory
They lay good on my mind
Thoughts lingering on the past
And surely but so slowly
Gradual relaxation and easing of tension
I'm starting to unwind
A slow process of unwinding
Trying not to think of things
Consciously avoiding specific thoughts
That you did or didn't do
Reflecting on actions, or lack thereof
Here I am once again
Revisiting a familiar place emotionally
Trying not to think of you
Struggling not to dwell on a person
But I all do is think of you
Unable to escape thoughts of the person
And where you might be now
Curiosity about the person's current whereabouts
What's new with you?
Inquiring about recent developments
Do you still have Boo?
Referencing someone named Boo
I gotta find a way some how
Determined to find a way to stop thinking about the person
To stop thinking of you
A resolution to break free from thoughts
I wonder who I'll find this time
Contemplating potential new connections
To turn my head for awhile
Seeking distractions to divert attention
Maybe I'll pick a Georgia peach
Considering new relationships in Georgia
Or maybe walk a mile
Open to different experiences
Whichever way it
Indifferent to the specific choice
Don't much make a damn what I do
Recognizing that actions may not matter
'Cause either way I'll spend my time
Acceptance of spending time, regardless of the activity
Trying not to think of you
Continuing efforts to avoid thoughts of the person
