Oh Atlanta

They got a place down Kentucky

Right down near Ohio

Where you can watch the planes at night

People line up just to watch them fly

I wish I was on one

I'm sittin' here thinkin' 'bout my girl back home

If I could only see her tonight



Oh Atlanta, Oh Atlanta!

I said yeah! yeah! yeah! Atlanta, got to get back to you



Well you can drop me off on Peach Street

I got to feel that Georgia sun

And the women there in Atlanta

They make us both feel glad it's only hit and run

I said watchin' them planes

I wish I was on one

I'm sittin' here thinking 'bout a girl back home



Oh Atlanta, Oh Atlanta!

I said yeah! yeah! yeah! Atlanta, got to get back to you



You take a day o' nights it's just you and me

Where the diesel plays all night

They got the boogie man goin' 'round for hell

And when they get to movin' they never stop

You just keep on playin' that down home beat

You just keep on layin' down high



I wish I was on one

Sittin' here thinkin' bout a girl back home

If I could only, oh if I could...



Oh Atlanta, Oh Atlanta!

I said yeah! yeah! yeah! Atlanta, got to get back to you
