[Verse]
Oh Atlanta, you're the only home I ever knew
Oh Atlanta, I can't wait to get back home to you
You got money in your pocket, you got roses in the lane
You got pure bred southern blood, flowing in your veins, Atlanta
Oh Atlanta, I wish that I was down on Peachtree Street
Oh Atlanta, them little Georgia peaches sure are sweet
You've got more pretty girls than any other place I've been
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 home town with all that southern pride
And I've got them travelling blues, I've got Georgia on my mind
I'm going to jump on board a southbound train and ride

[Chorus][x2]
Oh Atlanta, I'm lonesome as a southern boy can be
Oh Atlanta, please be sure and save a place for me
So momma fry some chicken, call the family on the phone
Tell them that their long lost lonesome boy is coming home to Atlanta

[Outro][x3]
Oh, Atlanta
(Oh, Atlanta)
Yeah, Atlanta
(Oh, Atlanta)
