I'm on way back to Atlanta About to start a new life Cause I can't take it here It seems the more we fight The more the pressure I'm in this lonely house Sitting high up on a hill
Pressin' the buttons on the control Flipping through channels on TV Wondering when you're coming home And take care of family
At least you can call and say I'm busy At least you can say I'm running late At least you can give some kind of notice Let somebody know that you're okay At least you can take some time to phone At least you can just one day stay home At least you can take me out to eat If you love me, you would've done those things
You won't miss me till I'm gone Impossible to drink from a well that's gone dry, yeah And every night you come in singing the same old song How could you do me wrong? When you know it ain't right

Take in a movie show, a carnival A place to go, we can be alone But instead I'm staring at these matching walls The weekends spent, a compliment Flowers sent would've kept me at home But now instead I'm packing my bags and I'm gone
At least you can call and say I'm busy At least you can say I'm running late At least you can give some kind of notice Let somebody know that you're okay At least you can take some time to phone At least you can just one day stay home At least you can take me out to eat If you love me, you would've done those things

All I wanted was a smile For you to stay a little while It's too late for it Cause you forgot the little things, whoa, oh
At least you can call and say I'm busy At least you can say I'm running late At least you can give some kind of notice Let somebody know that you're okay At least you can take some time to phone At least you can just one day stay home At least you can take me out to eat If you love me, you would've done those things
