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)
