about

Athens

lyrics

I was the first man that you ever saw when you came down from the
Moon, with your camera and the new tattoos that David Hale
Drew on your side, of a sparrow on the hillside, A Normaltown kind of
Love, on your porch swing with your nose ring, lay the cards out on the
Floor, send me home, I'm alone now, I'm walking Away
I saw blues eyes turn to green and green turn to
blue and then back again, now I'm leaving but I'm dreaming
of you, sweet Athens, sweet Georgia , sweet Pulaski on my mind

I walked the gauntlet to Manhattan and I was famous with the
Kings, I drank howdies, roosters and turtles, and I smoked under the
Stars, around fire pits til sun rose and sent me to
sleep,I was lonely when you came to me with your long golden
Hair and your green eyes, your elixir , I was young once again
I saw blues eyes turn to green and green turn to
blue and then back again, now I'm leaving but I'm dreaming
of you, sweet Athens, sweet Georgia , sweet Pulaski on my mind

I dream of your lake house and your sisters, each one more lovely than the last, your famous sun rise from the balcony on the Italian
Coast, you know nothing about wine but you drink it every
night , with your yellow cat , near the train tracks, they all want to take you home, but not tonight no, tonight your drinking wine with me
I saw blues eyes turn to green and green turn to
blue and then back again, now I'm leaving but I'm dreaming
of you, sweet Athens, sweet Georgia , sweet Pulaski on my mind
