Emmylou Harris Oh Atlanta Lyrics

Oh Atlanta Lyrics

(Bill Payne)

Well, there`s a place down Kentucky 
Said right down near Ohio 
You can watch the planes at night 
People line up to watch each flight 

I said a-watchin` them planes 
Well I wish I was on one 
Sittin` here thinkin` `bout my crazy dream 
If I could only see him tonight 

Oh Atlanta, Oh Atlanta 
Whoah whoah Atlanta 
Got to get back to you 

You can drop me off on Peachtree 
I got to feel that Georgia sun 
And the people in Atlanta 
They make you awful glad you come 

I said a-watchin` them planes 
Well I wish I was on one 
Sittin` here thinkin` `bout my crazy dream 
If I could only see him tonight 

Oh Atlanta, Oh Atlanta 
Whoah whoah Atlanta 
Got to get back to you 

We`ll go down, just you and me 
Where the music plays all night 
They`ve got the boogie band playin` that`s bound for hell 
When they get to movin` they never stop 

They just keep on playin` that down home beat 
(Keep on layin` down harmony) 
Yeah I wish I was on one 
Sittin` here thinkin` `bout my crazy dream 
If I could only see him tonight
