Oh Atlanta Lyrics

Oh Atlanta lyrics

Bill Payne 



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 

I said watchin' them planes 

I wish I was on one 

I'm sittin' here thinkin' 'bout my red head dream 

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 Peachtree 

I got to feel that Georgia sun 

And the women there in Atlanta 

They make you awfully glad you come 

I said watchin' them planes 

I wish I was on one 

I'm sittin' here thinking 'bout my crazy dream 

If I could only be there tonight 



Oh Atlanta, Oh Atlanta! 

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



We make a day and how just you and me 

But the music plays all night 

They got the boogie band blowin' that's bound 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' it down hot 



I wish I was on one 

I'm sittin' here thinkin' bout my red haired dream 

If I could only see her tonight 



Oh Atlanta, Oh Atlanta! 

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