I felt as though I came of age in Athens, GA in the late 1980's. This song refers to the various bands I played in, the memorable happenings and my desire sometimes for those carefree days.

Lyrics
Red & Black, Originals
Top Hat, Railroad Tracks
Cool Cat, A late one
Weird to me, but free
Hey, Hey, Hey
Take me to that place
Hey, Hey, Hey
Something about that place
A brand new year, and peaches
Wrong hill, a wrecked van
New cow-tar, could go far
Ripped off, but paid back
Hey, Hey, Hey
Take me to that place
Hey, Hey, Hey
Something about that place
I wish I was there, right now, I wish I was there
Days change, found out too late
Tractors pull, Movements push
Downtown, a classic
Grilled food and record shops
Dim watt, it?s what we got
Not much, but it?s home
Hey, Hey, Hey
Take me to that place
Hey, Hey, Hey
Something about that place
I wish I was there, right now, I wish I was there
Yeah there?s something ?bout home, wherever it may be
It?s home, your home
