Fly Through Atlanta (Van Buren)

Out in the heat and dust. Out in the San Joaquin
I just hitchhiked from Bakersfield. The sun was hot and mean
I don't know why I left our home, or you in Tennessee
I only know if I could go, that's where I'd want to be
Stopped to see a preacher, to hear what he might tell
And as I stood there listening, these words I heard quite well

If you want to get to heaven, you must fly through Atlanta
And heaven is a girl in Tennessee

Hiked on in to Lodi and unslung my guitar
I had to play for dinner in another old dive bar
And as I stood there playing, these words came to my mind
I heard that preacher saying - I heard it one more time

If you want to get to heaven, you must fly through Atlanta
And heaven is a girl in Tennessee

If you want to get to heaven, you must fly through Atlanta
And heaven is a girl in Tennessee
