(Bill Kenner/L. Russell Brown)



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
