Atlanta Anymore

[Verse 1]
Inside a suit coat pocket in the back of his closet today
She found a letter among the bills he forgot to pay
It was addressed to a woman a name she'd never seen before
It started out I'm sorry but I won't be in Atlanta anymore

[Verse 2]
As she read the words he'd written she found it hard to believe her eyes
At first she was angry then slowly she began to cry
'Cause somewhere down in Georgia he'd takеn off the wedding ring he worе
And it didn't help a whole lot knowing that he won't be in Atlanta anymore

[Chorus]
He said I won't be in Atlanta anymore
And I'm sorry that I lied to you before
The truth is I got a wife and two children three and four
And I won't be in Atlanta anymore

[Verse 3]
At the bottom of the last page he'll never know the PS that she wrote
'Cause she folded up the pages and slipped them back into the envelope
Then she took the goodbye letter and dropped it in the mailbox on the porch
She thought the woman ought to know that Atlanta's not a secret anymore

[Chorus]
She wrote he won't be in Atlanta anymore
And I don't know why he lied to you before
But God knows I still love him and I'm just making sure
That he won't be in Atlanta anymore
He wrote it and she mailed it
He won't be in Atlanta anymore
