lyrics

When I was a kid my family would travel down to the ballpark where the Braves used to play, go down the street, take 20 to Hank Aaron, sat in the seats on the side of third base.

I said, "Daddy, won't you take me back to Old Fulton County, down by Peoplestown where the Braves used to play?" He said, "I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking, 'cause ol' GSU's gone and blown it away."

I went to the store to buy me some spinach to make a big salad for dinner that day. Outside the doors -- I could hardly believe it -- the cops, they were dragging the homeless away.

I said, "Daddy, won't you take me back to Old Fulton County, down by Peoplestown where the Braves used to play?" He said, "I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking, 'cause ol' GSU's gone and blown it away."

It's 8:00, and I'm driving down Moreland, passing the place where my home used to stand. Now all I can see are these mixed-use condos and greedy developers,just rubbing their hands.

I said, "Daddy, won't you take me back to Old Fulton County, down by Peoplestown where the Braves used to play?" He said, "I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking, 'cause ol' GSU's gone and blown it away."

Oh, when I die, please let it be peaceful. "Never one for violence," that's what they will say. But if I'm halfway to Heaven, and I see another Wal-Mart, please spread my ashes somewhere farther away.

I said, "Daddy, won't you take me back to Old Fulton County, down by Peoplestown where the Braves used to play?" He said, "I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking, 'cause ol' GSU's gone and blown it away."
