Lyrics
[Intro]
Mud on the tires, red dust on the gate
Something crossed the parish and followed my plate
[Verse 1]
Came up from the bayou with a name nobody says
Wet footprints in the hallway, cold handprints on the shades
Atlanta got tall buildings, but the swamp still found a way
Now the elevator stops where there ain't no floor to take
I hear that slow drawl tucked inside the air vent
Mama said, “Don't answer,” but the voice sounds like my sentence
Phone light flicker, every room got two exits
One for me to leave, one for him to step in
I keep the blinds shut, count cars on the avenue
Black glass rolls past, but I can't see who's driving through
Neighbors say I'm tripping, tell me what a neighbor do
When the thing in your reflection turns its head before you do?
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't call my name through the wall
Don't knock twice at all
I left that water down south
But it came when I moved out
[Chorus]
The ghost of the Bayou came to Atlanta
Mud on his boots, cold breath in the cabana
I run from the dark, but the dark runs faster
He lives in my head, now my head is the manor
The ghost of the Bayou came to Atlanta
Red eyes low, whispering, “I remember”
Everywhere I go, that pressure get heavier
Bass in the floor, but the fear get deadlier
[Verse 2]
Peachtree traffic, rain tapping on the roof
I saw his face in the glass, then the glass showed me the truth
He ain't riding in the backseat, he been riding in the roots
Every lie I ever buried grew a tongue and learned to move
My circle got smaller, every handshake feel rehearsed
Somebody changed the locks, somebody wearing my shirt
I sleep with the kitchen light, still wake up in reverse
Hear a boat chain dragging where the pavement should've been first
I keep receipts, maps, names, dates, every clue
But the ink runs like river water when I write what I knew
My girl says, “Baby, come back,” I say, “I never left the room”
Then the closet door breathes deep and the whole house answers too
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't call my name through the wall
Don't knock twice at all
I left that water down south
But it came when I moved out
[Chorus]
The ghost of the Bayou came to Atlanta
Mud on his boots, cold breath in the cabana
I run from the dark, but the dark runs faster
He lives in my head, now my head is the manor
The ghost of the Bayou came to Atlanta
Red eyes low, whispering, “I remember”
Everywhere I go, that pressure get heavier
Bass in the floor, but the fear get deadlier
[Rap Bridge]
Quick, quick, tell me who moved the chair, who breathed in the stairwell?
Click, click, deadbolt, still hear that chain pull
Left lane, right lane, same face in the windshield
New town, old curse, tell me where the time went
No sleep, two phones, both ring with my voice
Cold sweat, back door, never made a choice
I point, it vanishes, I blink, it gets near
If I say I ain't scared, why it sound like a prayer?
[Final Chorus]
The ghost of the Bayou came to Atlanta
Mud on his boots, cold breath in the cabana
I run from the dark, but the dark runs faster
He lives in my head, now my head is the manor
The ghost of the Bayou came to Atlanta
Red eyes low, whispering, “I remember”
Everywhere I go, that pressure get heavier
Bass in the floor, but the fear get deadlier
[Outro]
Morning hit the window, nobody came
Mud by the doorway spelling out my name
I packed for the highway, keys in my hand
Then heard that slow water underneath Atlanta
