Description
This is an update to the original posting of this song, though still not the final version. My coconspirator added bass and lead guitar to this, though he still wants to go back and clean it up. Since that hasn't happened yet, I thought I go ahead and post this version for comments and such.

Lyrics
When it comes to life and love there just are no rules
Like how she tried to make sense out of a senseless fool
Too blind to realize when he had it made
Just when it seemed I'd come around that's when it all fell apart
Opportunity came knocking, 'stead I broke her heart
'Cause I wouldn't go, though she couldn't stay
I've never been to Atlanta
That's where my heart resides
From what I hear it's been happy
Although it's taken some time
And while it's living its new life
I hope it misses me still
I've never been to Atlanta...
Yeah we've talked a few times
And I tell her that I'm doing fine
Though I don't believe a single word I said
Should have been there all along
But it's just hard for me to admit I was wrong
So I guess I'll just go pack my bags instead
I've never been to Atlanta
That's where my heart resides
From what I hear it's been happy
Although it's taken some time
And while it's living its new life
I hope it misses me still
I've never been to Atlanta
guess I probably will.
Like how she tried to make sense out of a senseless fool
Too blind to realize when he had it made
Just when it seemed I'd come around that's when it all fell apart
Opportunity came knocking, 'stead I broke her heart
'Cause I wouldn't go, though she couldn't stay
I've never been to Atlanta
That's where my heart resides
From what I hear it's been happy
Although it's taken some time
And while it's living its new life
I hope it misses me still
I've never been to Atlanta...
Yeah we've talked a few times
And I tell her that I'm doing fine
Though I don't believe a single word I said
Should have been there all along
But it's just hard for me to admit I was wrong
So I guess I'll just go pack my bags instead
I've never been to Atlanta
That's where my heart resides
From what I hear it's been happy
Although it's taken some time
And while it's living its new life
I hope it misses me still
I've never been to Atlanta
guess I probably will.

Gotta be where your heart is, bro!
Nice song. Really catchy chorus.
Nice bass work. I don't really like the effect on the lead guitar. Assuming that is what I'm hearing in the left with the wah-wahing. A more straight up guitar may sound better.
Also, in the first verse, there is a very brief note from the guitar. I think it's a mistake. It plays when you sing "make sense out..."
I like your singing. Nice tone and phrasing.
And one more time, if you are not in Atlanta yet, what are you waiting for?!? Cheers.
