you're the only home I ever knew
Oh Atlanta, I can't wait to get
You got money in your pocket,
you got roses in the lane
You got purebred southern blood,
flowing in your veins, Atlanta
Oh Atlanta, I wish that I was
Oh Atlanta, them little Georgia
You've got more pretty girls than any
I can't wait to let your bright lights
shine on me again, Atlanta
Now you're the queen of Dixie,
you're the diamond of the South
You're that big hometown with all
And I've got them traveling blues,
I've got Georgia on my mind
a southbound train and ride
Oh Atlanta, I'm lonesome as
Oh Atlanta, please be sure
So momma fry some chicken,
call the family on the phone
Tell them that their long lost lonesome boy is coming
Oh Atlanta, I'm lonesome as
Oh Atlanta, please be sure
So momma fry some chicken,
call the family on the phone
Tell them that their long lost lonesome
boy is coming home to Atlanta
Tell them about it, Atlanta
