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
