I'm on my way back to Atlanta   About to start a new life 'cause I can't take it here   It seems like 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, baby      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      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, yeah      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      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      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      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
