Lyrics
[Intro]
Mm
Mm-mm
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Back road hummin through the Georgia pines
Dust on the dashboard from a thousand drives
Granddaddy's tape deck spinnin old soul
Talkbox grippin while the bassline rolls
I found a rhythm in the rust and the rain
Baptized in the static of a distant refrain
Every ding and dangle got a story to tell
Kitchen pots and church bells ringin just as well
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands on the wheel
Feet on the pedal
Gotta make it real
Got no time to settle
[Chorus]
Motown heart and a southern drawl
Talkbox cryin through the voodoo hall
Synthesizer whisper where the fireflies crawl
Atlanta in my bloodstream and I'm givin my all
Givin my all
Givin my all
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Sneakers on the sidewalk tap a funky beat
Car horn rhythm down the one-way street
Mama hummin melodies from 1963
I turn em into basslines you can feel in your teeth
Junk drawer percussion got a homemade swing
Tape hiss and vinyl crackle make the speakers sing
From the red clay tracks to the neon bridge glow
Every step's a sample of the places that I go
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands on the wheel
Feet on the pedal
Gotta make it real
Got no time to settle
[Chorus]
Motown heart and a southern drawl
Talkbox cryin through the voodoo hall
Synthesizer whisper where the fireflies crawl
Atlanta in my bloodstream and I'm givin my all
Givin my all
Givin my all
[Bridge]
Old soul
New blood
Warm gold
Thick mud
That's the way I'm made
That's the road I pave
[Chorus]
Motown heart and a southern drawl
Talkbox cryin through the voodoo hall
Synthesizer whisper where the fireflies crawl
Atlanta in my bloodstream and I'm givin my all
Givin my all
Givin my all
[Outro]
Mm
Mm-mm
Mm
