They got a place down Kentucky, right down near Ohio
Where you can watch the planes at night
People line up to watch each flight
Said, watching those planes. I wish I was on one
Sit here, thinking bout a crazy dream,
If I could only get her tonight
Oh, Atlanta, Oh, Atlanta, I said yeah, yeah, yeah, Atlanta
Got to get back to you.
You can drop me off on Peachtree.
I got to feel that Georgia sun
And the women there in Atlanta,
They make you awfully glad you come
Said, watching those planes, I wish I was on one
Sit here, thinking bout a crazy dream,
If I could only see her tonight
Oh, Atlanta, Oh, Atlanta, I said yeah, yeah, yeah,
Atlanta
Got to get back to you.
We'd make a day down there, just you and me
The music plays all night
They got a boogie band blowing that's bound for hell
And when the get to moving they never stop
They just keep on playing that down home beat
Keep on laying it down hot.
I wish I was on one,
Sit here thinking bout that crazy dream
If I could only get it tonight
Oh, Atlanta, Oh, Atlanta, I said yeah, yeah, yeah, Atlanta
Got to get back to you.
