On the Greyhound bus trip home I was feelin' all alone
When a long haired gal sat down next to me
She said she was Atlanta bound kill some time maybe kick around
Cause it sounded like a friendly place to be
From Chicago to Kentucky we just talked awhile
And somewhere in between I was captured by her smile
But while I left the bus in Nashville HAS BEEN a mistery till today
Cause for two years I've been TRACKING' down that Atlanta Georgia stray
[ trumpet ]Well she said all living things have a secret pair of wings
And I'm of the lucky ones who learned to fly
Though I don't even know your name I can tell we're much the same
Cause you've got that faraway look in your eyes
Right then I knew I'd found what I've been searching for
And by the tears that filled her eyes she felt the same I'm almost sure
But while I left the bus in Nashville HAS BEEN a mistery till today
Cause for two years I've been TRACKING' down that Atlanta Georgia stray
[ trumpet ]Well I'm flat broke once again I haven't eaten in God knows when
And the weather is the showing signs of rain
I gotta make it in the town hit the clubs and ask around
Even though the answers all will be the same
Well I'd walk a mile for every word I spoke into
And up to now I haven't come across one little single proof
Cause when I left the bus in Nashville why it was my favorite way
Cause for two years I've been TRACKING' down that Atlanta Georgia stray
(That Atlanta Georgia stray Atlanta Georgia stray)
When a long haired gal sat down next to me
She said she was Atlanta bound kill some time maybe kick around
Cause it sounded like a friendly place to be
From Chicago to Kentucky we just talked awhile
And somewhere in between I was captured by her smile
But while I left the bus in Nashville HAS BEEN a mistery till today
Cause for two years I've been TRACKING' down that Atlanta Georgia stray
[ trumpet ]Well she said all living things have a secret pair of wings
And I'm of the lucky ones who learned to fly
Though I don't even know your name I can tell we're much the same
Cause you've got that faraway look in your eyes
Right then I knew I'd found what I've been searching for
And by the tears that filled her eyes she felt the same I'm almost sure
But while I left the bus in Nashville HAS BEEN a mistery till today
Cause for two years I've been TRACKING' down that Atlanta Georgia stray
[ trumpet ]Well I'm flat broke once again I haven't eaten in God knows when
And the weather is the showing signs of rain
I gotta make it in the town hit the clubs and ask around
Even though the answers all will be the same
Well I'd walk a mile for every word I spoke into
And up to now I haven't come across one little single proof
Cause when I left the bus in Nashville why it was my favorite way
Cause for two years I've been TRACKING' down that Atlanta Georgia stray
(That Atlanta Georgia stray Atlanta Georgia stray)
