Atlanta Still Burns

I remember Georgia the summer that we walked
Up and down Peachtree every night
I remember holding hands, that cotton shirt you wore
The way your green eyes looked in that moonlight

I know I've had time enough to put it all behind
But still you find your way into my mind

I put two thousand miles between us
And three years down the road
Still I feel the fire
That we both used to know
I just can't get passed the past
Some fools never learn
I still see your face at every turn
Atlanta still burns

Sunny California is a day at the beach
Pretty people walking everywhere
They all stepped out of magazines and everybody smiles
Still there's something hanging in the air

I thought I could walk away and not even look back
But after all this time, I still can't get my life on track

I put two thousand miles between us
And three years down the road
Still I feel the fire
That we both used to know
I just can't get passed the past
Some fools never learn
I still see your face at every turn
Atlanta still burns

I've stirred the ashes and poured water on my soul
Every day I seem to find another red hot coal

Two thousand miles between us
And three years down the road
Still I feel the fire
That we both used to know
I just can't get passed the past
Some fools never learn
I still see your face at every turn
Atlanta still burns
Atlanta still burns
Atlanta still burns
