Story Behind The Song

BIG BUSINESS MAN IS LOVING MAN AWAY FROM DEAL MAKING NEED FOR POWER AND SUCCESS OVER SHADOWS RELATIONSHIP WITH WOMAN IN ATLANTA WHO NEEDS MORE QUALITY TIME REGRETS THE LOSS AND ASKS TO AT LEAST JUST BE REMEMBERED AND THOUGHT OF IF HE IS EVER IN ATLANTA

Lyrics

IN YOUR GRAYEST SUIT......WITH YOUR ROLEX ON
BRIEFCASE IN YOUR HAND....YOU PLAN TO COME ON STRONG
MEETINGS ALL DAY LONG.......I'LL BET YOU'VE HAD NO REST
YOU WORKED THROUGH THE NIGHT......BUT YOU'LL BE AT YOUR BEST

YOU'LL BE SO INVOLVED.....WILL YOU HAVE TIME AT ALL
JUST TO LET ME CROSS YOUR MIND?
AND WHAT WE HAD TOGETHER....AND WHAT YOU LEFT BEHIND

CHORUS: IF YOU'RE EVER IN ATLANTA
WOULD YOU HAVE TIME FOR A MEMORY?
IF YOU'RE EVER IN ATLANTA
COULD YOU SPARE A THOUGHT OR TWO OF ME?
WHEN THE DEALS SAID AND DONE
AND IT'S DOWN TO SHAKING HANDS
AND YOU RUN TO CATCH YOUR PLANE
IF YOU'RE EVER IN ATLANTA
COULD YOU STOP AND SAY MY NAME?

THOSE EXECUTIVES WILL NEVER SEE
THE PART OF YOU, YOU SHOWED TO ME
YOU CAN BE SO SWEET...NOTHING CAN COMPARE
WITH THE LOVE WE HAD OR THE THINGS WE SHARED
WE COULD BE SO CLOSE...THE WORLD SEEMED MILES AWAY
BUT THE OFFICE ALWAYS CALLS
ANOTHER BIG DEAL IN THE MAKING
I COULD NEVER CLIMB THAT WALL

CHORUS
