I can make good time on the bottom
Where the old rocky river runs clear
But I got to slow down on the switchbacks
You know there's ice on the road up here
Mama, cool
Mama, cool
Mama, cool your jets awhile
I come down here to Atlanta
Where the bright lights shine
I saw a thousand people in a quarter mile
Ain't one of them a friend of mine
Mama, cool
Mama, cool
Mama, cool your jets awhile
I pressed my ear to the dashboard
To hear the ocean roar
I swore I heard a mermaid singing
Why don't you love me like you did before?
