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
