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 redhead dream
If I could only see her tonight

Whoa, Atlanta, whoa, Atlanta
I said yeah, yeah, yeah Atlanta (Atlanta) I 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 thinkin' 'bout my crazy dream
If I could only be there tonight

Whoa, Atlanta, whoa, Atlanta
I said oh, whoa Atlanta (Atlanta) I got to get back to you

We'll make a day, and how, just you and me
Where 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 got to keep on playin' that down-home beat
So keep on layin' it down hot

I wish I was on one
I'm sittin' here thinkin' bout my redhead dream
If I could only see her tonight

Whoa, Atlanta, whoa, Atlanta
I said whoa, whoa, whoa, Atlanta (Atlanta) I got to get back to you

One of the TOP TEN ROCK BANDS of all time.

I think that every plane that lands in Atlanta should put this on the intercom as the plane taxis the runway.

Its depressing when I think of what Atlanta has become and how none of these thoughts and homage mean the same thing anymore..People have changed soo much and nothing or no one even resembles the people and the vibes of old. And nothing about the past is represented accurately by the people of the present.
