I wonder what's goin’ down in your part of town
right in the heart of it the salon they call Rockit
well tell me who is cutting who? who has married who?
who has moved on since I’ve been long gone?

I bless the twist of fate that found me lost that day in Tennessee
I thank the walkers for guiding me out of there
and the Greyhound bus that took me to Georgia that same day

Atlanta I won’t forget
Atlanta I won’t forget ya

I had no money, I had no plan, just a guitar in hand
little more I could do than sing my heart out for you
and southern hospitality showered over me

Atlanta I won’t forget
oh Atlanta I’ll never forget

what I’d give for the chance just to see ya
I’d sing again at smiths and shout you margarita’s
I’d bring back that all star band and rock it with ya

oh, oh, oh Atlanta I won’t forget ya
no, no, no, Atlanta I’ll never forget ya

I bless the twist of fate that found me lost that day in Tennessee
and each one of you that made Atlanta home to me
