Savannah by Parmalee Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody's got that girl, you know the one that got away
I really don't know why but I was thinking 'bout her today
I loved the way she'd say Georgia
With that sweet little southern drawl
And how she whispered "baby"
As the mossy oak shadows would fall
If whiskey was a time machine, I would try to drink her back to me

[Chorus]
There are highways and byways
Running east, west, north, and south
And you can sail into the harbor, see the planes touching down
But I burned up every bridge
Just like Sherman did coming down from Atlanta
And I know there ain't no way back to Savannah, no, no, oh, woah

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I had some big city dreams, headed out on my own
To the bright lights and the neon sky, left her there all alone
This photograph is the only map as a memory disappears
And the truth is you can't get there from here
[Chorus]
'Cause there are highways and byways
Running east, west, north, and south
And you can sail into the harbor, see the planes touching down
But I burned up every bridge
Just like Sherman did coming down from Atlanta
And I know there ain't no way back to Savannah, no, no, oh, woah

[Break]
Yeah
If whiskey was a time machine I would try to drink her back to me

[Chorus]
'Cause there are highways and byways
Running east, west, north, and south
And you can sail into the harbor, see the planes touching down
But I burned up every bridge
Just like Sherman did coming down from Atlanta
And I know there ain't no way back to Savannah
No, no, no, oh, woah
No, no, no, oh, woah

[Outro]
Everybody's got that girl, I've got mine in black and white
I really don't know why but I'm calling her tonight
