Southern Babylon (Live)

[Verse 1]

Starin' through a spiderweb where a 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' before my mind caught up with me

When I walked in my tab was already open

My drink was poured and my cigarette was smokin'

[Chorus]

And 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'

So rest that trav'lin' soul, looks like the road was long

Welcome to Southern Babylon"

[Verse 2]

I had to pull myself together and ask to use the phone

The waitress smiled this 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?"

[Chorus]

And she said "Hey girl, where you been? Doncha know I been waitin' for ya?

I got a band up there just dyin' to play a little 'Hotel California'

So maybe it's not sinkin' in, but you'll learn to play along

Honey, you been gone since you walked into Southern Babylon"

[Verse 3]

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 you and it's a little bit too late"

And she handed me a guitar and pointed to the flames

[Chorus]

"Hey girl, where you been? Doncha know I been waitin' for ya?

I 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"
