4 to 1 in Atlanta

Oh wild Billy told me even

I would have a chance

If I took a trip down the Georgia highway

and asked some girl to dance

Billy said he'd been there

had the best time of his life

He went to stay for the weekend

and he came back with a wife

It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta,

I'm gonna get lucky tonight

The girls are in my favor

and if I play my cards just right

I might find an angel

whose fire I can light

It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta

and I'm on my way tonight

I can't wait to get there

I know she's waiting for me

With eyes as blue as Texas skies

like I ain't never seen

And as I think about it

my heart starts to pound

I throw this thing into lower gear

and crush that hammer down

It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta,

I'm gonna get lucky tonight

The girls are in my favor

and if I play my cards just right

I might find an angel

whose fire I can light

It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta

and I'm on my way tonight

Here comes a confrontation

with the highway patrol

I hope beneath those flashing lights

there's an understanding soul

I've only got one story

I'm a man without love

Can we talk about it ma'am

before you write me up

It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta,

I'm gonna get lucky tonight

The girls are in my favor

and if I play my cards just right

I might find an angel

whose fire I can light

It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta

and I'm on my way tonight

I'm on my way tonight...
