Oh Atlanta by Emmylou Harris Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
I sit a-watching them planes
Well I wish I was on one
Sitting here thinking about my crazy dream
If I could only see him tonight
Oh Atlanta, oh Atlanta
Whoah-oah Atlanta
Got to get back to you
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I sit a-watching them planes
Well I wish I was on one
Sitting here thinking about my crazy dream
If I could only see him tonight
Oh Atlanta, oh Atlanta
Whoah-oah Atlanta
Got to get back to you
[Verse 3]
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're just ??
[Chorus]
I sit a-watching them planes
Well I wish I was on one
Sitting here thinking about my crazy dream
If I could only see him tonight
Oh Atlanta, oh Atlanta
Whoah-oah Atlanta
Got to get back to you
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
[Chorus]
I sit a-watching them planes
Well I wish I was on one
Sitting here thinking about my crazy dream
If I could only see him tonight
Oh Atlanta, oh Atlanta
Whoah-oah Atlanta
Got to get back to you
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I sit a-watching them planes
Well I wish I was on one
Sitting here thinking about my crazy dream
If I could only see him tonight
Oh Atlanta, oh Atlanta
Whoah-oah Atlanta
Got to get back to you
[Verse 3]
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're just ??
[Chorus]
I sit a-watching them planes
Well I wish I was on one
Sitting here thinking about my crazy dream
If I could only see him tonight
Oh Atlanta, oh Atlanta
Whoah-oah Atlanta
Got to get back to you
