I'm on way back to Atlanta
 About to start a new life
 Cause I can't take it here
 It seems the more we fight
 The more the pressure
 I'm in this lonely house
 Sitting high up on a hill

 Pressin' the buttons on the control
 Flipping through channels on TV
 Wondering when you're coming home
 And take care of family

 At least you can call and say I'm busy
 At least you can say I'm running late
 At least you can give some kind of notice
 Let somebody know that you're okay
 At least you can take some time to phone
 At least you can just one day stay home
 At least you can take me out to me
 If you love me, you would've done those things

 You won't miss me till I'm gone
 Impossible to drink from a well that's gone dry, yeah
 And every night you come in singing the same old song
 How could you do me wrong?
 When you know it ain't right

 Pressin' the buttons on the control
 Flipping through channels on TV
 Wondering when you're coming home
 And take care of family

 At least you can call and say I'm busy
 At least you can say I'm running late
 At least you can give some kind of notice
 Let somebody know that you're okay
 At least you can take some time to phone
 At least you can just one day stay home
 At least you can take me out to me
 If you love me, you would've done those things

 Take in a movie show, a carnival
 A place to go, we can be alone
 But instead I'm staring at these matching walls
 The weekends spent, a compliment
 Flowers sent would've kept me at home
 But now instead I'm packing my bags and I'm gone

 At least you can call and say I'm busy
 At least you can say I'm running late
 At least you can give some kind of notice
 Let somebody know that you're okay
 At least you can take some time to phone
 At least you can just one day stay home
 At least you can take me out to me
 If you love me, you would've done those things

 At least you can call and say I'm busy
 At least you can say I'm running late
 At least you can give some kind of notice
 Let somebody know that you're okay
 At least you can take some time to phone
 At least you can just one day stay home
 At least you can take me out to me
 If you love me, you would've done those things

 All I wanted was a smile
 For you to stay a little while
 It's too late for it
 Cause you forgot the little things, whoa, oh

 At least you can call and say I'm busy
 At least you can say I'm running late
 At least you can give some kind of notice
 Let somebody know that you're okay
 At least you can take some time to phone
 At least you can just one day stay home
 At least you can take me out to me
 If you love me, you would've done those things
