I Wish

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 purebred 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 hometown with all that southern pride

And I've got them traveling blues, I've got Georgia on my mind

I'm gonna jump on board a southbound train and ride



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



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

(Oh, Atlanta)



Oh, Atlanta

(Oh, Atlanta)

Yeah, Atlanta

(Oh, Atlanta)



Tell them about it, Atlanta

(Oh, Atlanta)

Sweet Atlanta

(Oh, Atlanta)

Oh, Atlanta

(Oh, Atlanta)



Yeah, Atlanta

(Oh, Atlanta)

Come on, Atlanta

(Oh, Atlanta)

Oh, Atlanta
