BACK IN ATHENS

saw a girl that i used to know last night at the mall
i called out her name but she didn't seem to recognize me at all
guess i got a bit thinner, my hair was now grayer than brown
and here we were a thousand miles from our old hometown.
we chatted a while, then goodbye, a peck on the cheek
she left me with my melting ice cream and that old memory

      it took me back to athens
      when i was single and twenty-one
      drinkin' cold margueritas
      with you in the hot georgia sun
      guess that i'll never forget the way things once had been
      for you and me back in athens.

i traded our green grass for cactus and rocks on the lawn
threw out my old red bulldog sweatshirt, the one you always had on
two golden rings are stuck way in the back of a drawer
along with the pictures i can't bear to see anymore
i started a new life, i thought i'd relearn how to smile
and sometimes i'm better, but way more than once in a while

      i find i'm back in athens
      when i was married and thirty-two
      sittin' out on the porch
      on a clear georgia night with you
      guess that i'll never forget the way things once had been
      for you and me back in athens

i've had a few not so special romances
but i know no one else will ever do
i'm still in love with you.

      my heart goes back to athens
      when i was cryin' and forty-three
      when the lord called your name
      and took you forever from me
      i know i'll never forget the way things once had been
      you and me back in athens
      back in athens



Thanks for listening.
