[Verse 1]
There is an intersection in your college town
With your name on it, with your name on it
You always said you couldn't wait to tear it down
I shoulda been honest and called you out on it
[Chorus]
'Cause I see signs from God and I tread lightly on the wire
You see him in the water and you try to start a fire
Burned bridges east of Atlanta, well, no wonder you lost manna
I'm in love with someone new and I'm going to Savannah, oh
[Verse 2]
There is a bar you're not allowed in on Bellevue

[Chorus]
'Cause I see signs from God and I tread lightly on the wire
You see him in the water and you try to start a fire
Burned bridges east of Atlanta, well, no wonder you lost manna
I'm in love with someone new and I'm going to Savannah, oh

You used to call those women bitches, didn't you?
It rolled off sweet like honeydew
But you will never know how to talk to ghosts
[Chorus]
I see signs from God, I tread lightly on the wire
You see him in the water and you try to start a fire
Burned bridges east of Atlanta, you lost me, so you lost manna
I'm in love with someone new and I'm going to Savannah
Going to Savannah
Going to Savannah
Going to Savannah, oh
