Momma's heart is breaking Daddy's drinking again This old house aint' heard laughter Since I don't know when Got a call from her last Sunday She said everything was fine But I know my baby sister I could tell she'd been cryin' She never was good at lyin' So I'm saving Savannah The city ain't where she belongs If I have to burn down Atlanta I'm bringing Savannah back home Twenty miles out of Marietta Might as well be driving blind No idea where to start looking Afraid of what I'm gonna find Cashed my paycheck on Friday And I'll be here 'till it's gone After that I'll think of something Only thing I really know is I ain't goin' back alone Nothing she could do to make me not love her I ain't trying to be no hero Just a brother If I have to burn down Atlanta I'm bringin' Savannah back home
