Oh Atlanta Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

(Bill Payne) 

Well, there's a place down Kentucky 

Said right down near Ohio 

You can watch the planes at night 

People line up to watch each flight 

I said a-watchin' them planes 

Well I wish I was on one 

Sittin' here thinkin' 'bout my crazy dream 

If I could only see him tonight 

Oh Atlanta, Oh Atlanta 

Whoah whoah Atlanta 

Got to get back to you

You can drop me off on Peachtree 

I got to feel that Georgia sun 

And the people in Atlanta 

They make you awful glad you come 

I said a-watchin' them planes 

Well I wish I was on one 

Sittin' here thinkin' 'bout my crazy dream 

If I could only see him tonight 

Oh Atlanta, Oh Atlanta 

Whoah whoah 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 playin' that's bound for hell 

When they get to movin' they never stop 

Photos 

They just keep on playin' that down home beat 

(Keep on layin' down harmony) 

Yeah I wish I was on one 

Sittin' here thinkin' 'bout my crazy dream 

If I could only see him tonight
