State of Atlanta

by Kim Ware and the Good Graces

/

lyrics

There’s a Peachtree everywhere I go
And whenever there is snow the whole city shuts down
When I came here I never thought I’d stay
Now I don’t want to move away
Guess I’m sticking around

I’m in a permanent state
A permanent state of Atlanta
Too busy to hate
I guess this is my fate
This permanent state of Atlanta

Sure we’re landlocked, but we’ve still got the Hooch
Plenty of places for your pooch to hang out in the sun
A new restaurant opens every day
Ponce City Market’s on the way
Spending money is fun

In my permanent state
My permanent state of Atlanta
Too busy to hate
I guess this is my fate
This permanent state of Atlanta

We’ve got four seasons, winter spring summer and fall
But what I love most of all are the parks and the trees
Or the beltline, where we can ride our bike
Or maybe we could fly a kite
Or just go shoot the breeze

In my permanent state
A permanent state of Atlanta
Too busy to hate
I guess this is my fate
This permanent state of Atlanta

I’m in a permanent state
A permanent state of Atlanta
Too busy to hate
I guess this is my fate
So let’s make a date
And don’t you be late
Cause I just can’t wait
To show you my state
My permanent state of Atlanta
I love Atlanta
