[Verse 1]
I always thought your feet were stuck in Georgia clay
Never dreamed you had such big ideas
But now that city man has taken you away
And it just take me a hundred years

[Verse 2]
To find you, but I will no matter where you are
Somehow I will make it up to you
I know in my own mind you haven't gone too far
I'll find you 'cause I know you want me to

[Chorus]
But am I gonna have to burn Atlanta down
(Down down down down)
I know you're hidin' somewhere in this town
There's no place you can go
Where you can't be found
But am I gonna have to burn Atlanta down

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Last year I heard you had gone out Texas way
But Texas cowboys never were your style
But don't give up on me I'll find you any day
It just looks like it might take a while
[Chorus]
But am I gonna have to burn Atlanta down
(Down down down down)
I know you're hidin' somewhere in this town
There's no place you can go
Where you can't be found
But am I gonna have to burn Atlanta down

[Outro]
Am I gonna have to burn Atlanta down
(Down down down down)
I know you're hidin' somewhere in this town
There's no place you can go
Where you can't be found
But am I gonna have to burn Atlanta down
