Karaoké Southern Babylon Ashley McBryde

Starin' through a spiderweb 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'

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

Rest that trav'lin' soul looks like the road was long

Welcome to Southern Babylon

Had to pull myself together and ask to use the phone

The waitress smiled a 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?

She said hey girl where you been?

Doncha 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

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

Hey girl where you been?

Doncha 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 trav'lin' soul looks like the road was long

Welcome to Southern Babylon

Southern Babylon

Welcome to Southern Babylon
