Southern Babylon - Live From Nashville

Lyrics

Starin' through a spider web where a windshield used to be
 What's left of the dashboard, the smell of gasoline
 And I could just make out one neon light
 South off through the trees
 My feet took off a walkin', 'fore my mind caught up with me
 When I walked in, my tab was already open
 And my drink was poured, and my cigarette was smokin'
 Somebody said "hey girl, where ya been?
 Don't ya know I been waitin' for ya?
 You got a band up there
 Been dyin' to play a little Devil Went Down to Georgia
 So rest that travelin' soul, looks like the road was long
 Welcome to Southern Babylon"
 I had to pull myself together and asked to use a phone
 The waitress smiled this wicked grin
 That sent a chill right to my bone
 I said "I need to call the tow truck, some way to move along"
 And she said "who you gonna call, now that you've been called home?"
 And she said "hey girl, where ya been?
 Don't ya know I been waitin' for ya?
 You got a band on stage
 Been dyin' to play a little Hotel California
 And maybe it's not sinkin' in, but you'll learn to play along
 Honey, you've been gone since you walked into Southern Babylon"
 ♪
 Well I'm not supposed to be here
 Bartender don't you see?
 I took a gig down near Atlanta and the brakes gave out on me
 She said "we know all about you, it's a little bit too late."
 And she handed me a guitar and pointed to the flames
 Hey girl, where ya been?
 Don't ya know I been waitin' for ya?
 You got a band up there
 Been dyin' to play a little Devil Went Down to Georgia
 so rest that travelin' soul, looks like the road was long
 Welcome to Southern Babylon
 Southern Babylon
 Welcome to Southern Babylon
 Welcome home
 Welcome home
