Oh, Atlanta Songtext
von Emmylou Harris

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

I sit watching them planes
Well, I wish I was on one
Sitting here thinking about my crazy dream
Well, I could only sing tonight
Oh Atlanta, oh Atlanta
Woah, Atlanta
Got to get back to you

You can drop me off from a peach tree
I got to feel that Georgia sun
And the people in Atlanta
They make you awfully glad you come


I sit watching them planes
Well, I wish I was on one
Sitting here thinking about my crazy dream
Well, I could only sing tonight
Oh Atlanta, oh Atlanta
Woah, 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 playing that's bound for hell
And when they get to moving, they never stop
They just keep on playing that damn ol' beat
Keep on laying down in harmony

Well, I wish I was on one
Sitting here thinking about my crazy dream
I could only sing tonight
Oh Atlanta, oh Atlanta
Woah, Atlanta
Got to get back to you

Oh Atlanta, oh Atlanta
Woah, Atlanta
Got to get back to you
