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
Well 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
Well 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 waitin' 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
Well 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
Well 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
flashin' lights
there's an understandin' soul
I've only got one story
I'm a man without love
Can we talk about it maam
before you write me up
Well 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
Well I might find an angel
whose fire I can light
It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta
And I'm on my way tonight
Yeah I'm on my way tonight
