Back to Atlanta Lyrics

By David Allan Coe
Dedication: Dedicated to Pete Drake and Rose Trimble for giving me the chance to be where I am today, For believing in my songs and in me. Sincerely David Allan Coe P.S. And to David Rogers for recording it.
IF SHE KNEW THAT I WAS HERE WITH YOU
THERE AINT NO DOUBT ABOUT WHAT SHE WOULD DO
SO LETS GET DRESSED AND ILL BE ON MY WAY
YOU KNEW THAT I WAS PASSING THROUGH
I NEVER MEANT TO STAY.

AND I THINK ID BETTER GO BACK TO ATLANTA
BEFORE MY CONSCIENCE MAKES A FOOL OF ME
I NEVER SHOULD HAVE STEPPED ACROSS LOVES MASON DIXON LINE
AND I THINK ITS TIME TO GO BACK TO ATLANTA

IVE BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR A LONG LONG TIME
SHE WAS OUT OF SIGHT AND OUT OF MIND
BUT SHE STILL WEARS MY RING UPON HER HAND
ALL THAT I COULD BE TO YOU IS
JUST A ONE NIGHT STAND
