[Verse]
You know I don't owe the kind of debt that makes a proud man lay his cards upon the table
They say I can't offer you the moon the way I could when we were young and so in love
The promise is something I can't give to you
The truth is, I just can't live for two,
And it only takes one to run
[Chorus]
Hey hey, I got to keep heading down the road
I've got the voice that's calling me,
Writing a one-way ticket back there to Atlanta
I want to be holding you tonight,
Even though it's plain to see
There's just no way this could be right
[Verse]
Maybe I shouldn't have gone on about the way you seem to light up every room
And Baby, I should have left last week, but I can't help but think that maybe it's too soon
If there's a pillar, I can hide behind it
If there's a way, you know I'd try to find it
If I only had the time
[Chorus]
Hey hey, I got to keep heading down the road
I've got the voice that's calling me,
Writing a one-way ticket back there to Atlanta
I shouldn't be holding you this way,
Even though we both know
I would be better off if I could stay
[Solo]
[Verse]
You know I don't climb the tallest tower just to get closer to God than to you
You know I don't play my only ace unless I have nothing left to win or lose
You can't say I didn't warn you
I wouldn't be here by morning light
I've got to make Baton Rouge tonight
[Chorus]
Hey hey, I got to keep heading down the road
I've got the voice that's calling me,
Writing a one-way ticket back there to Atlanta
I want to be holding you tonight,
Even though I've got to go
You know I won't forget to write you from Atlanta
