Capo 1 
 
A              E            A              E 
Ole Wild Billy told me even I would have a chance 
     A                    E                   B          A       E 
If I took a trip down the Georgia highway and asked some girl to dance 
A               E                   A                E 
Billy said he'd been there, had the best time of his life 
   A                    E              B         A      E    
He went to stay for the weekend and he came back with a wife

          B    A      E          B         A       E  
Well it's 4 to 1 in Atlanta, I'm gonna get lucky tonight 
    B         A     E              B       A          E  
The girls are in my favor and if I play my cards just right 
B       A       E           B    A     B 
I might find an angel who's fire I can light 
     B    A      E             A     B     E 
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 skys like I ain't never seen 
As I think about it my heart starts to pound  
I throw this thing into lower gear and crush that hammer down 
 
Chorus 
 
Here comes a confrontation with the highway patrol 
I hope beneath those flashing lights is 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 
 
Chorus
