Words and music by E.P. Schwartz

lyrics

Atlanta lit her cigarette
through the smoke she tried to swallow
she's a tough act to follow

And me, I'll never shake Saigon
even with this wallet on
no money can buy my scars away

She's far too young to care
what on earth we were doing there
or to understand where to stand

All the battles are over now
haircuts, no victors bow
and lonely men, stagger on home

See, Atlanta, some wounded walk
Hold, Atlanta, wounded mouths can talk
some of us only twisted inside

My God, Atlanta, what have we done
what kind of world have we passed on
or passed over

Atlanta snuffs her cigarette
she laughs as she scans the room
her gaze falls on me, falls on me

"Money-grubbing old man"
She couldn't see my burns
and carelessly Atlanta turns
