Take Tallahassee Lyrics by McCall Chapin
I took the couch, you got the big TV
I took my guitars and that beat-up coffee machine
Right down the middle, we made it even
Splitting everything up
But there’s one last thing to figure out
And I know what I want
You can take Tallahassee
Take Mahan and Apalachee
Take the canopy roads and the Seminoles
The Greenway and the live oaks
I’ll take Music City
I’ll take 16th and Old Hickory
It was my dream before it was yours
So, you take Tallahassee
‘Cause neither one of you feels like home anymore
That way it’s only Christmas
I might see you around
Maybe near Gaines St.
Drinking with our high school crowd
It’s only fair that you go back
To where we’re from
Honey, this town ain’t big enough
For the both of us
You can take Tallahassee
Take Mahan and Apalachee
Take the canopy roads and the Seminoles
The Greenway and the live oaks
I’ll take Music City
I’ll take 16th and Old Hickory
It was my dream before it was yours
So, you take Tallahassee
‘Cause neither one of you feels like home anymore
Finders keepers
If you don’t want me
Then you can’t have Nashville either
But you can take Tallahassee
Take Mahan and Apalachee
Take the canopy roads, the Seminoles
The Greenway and the live oaks
And I’ll take Music City
I’ll take 16th and Old Hickory
It was my dream before it was yours
So, you take Tallahassee
‘Cause neither one of you feels like home anymore
No, not anymore
