David Allan Coe - Atlanta Song
Capo 1
I Dmet her in Atlanta
She was a-Gdancing in a cafe
With a Dprice tag on her body
And a tombstone in her Aeye
You Dcould tell she was not happy
By the Gway she kept on staring
Past the Dother side of nowhere
At a Aman she'd like to Dtry.
And the Gmake-up she had painted
Could not hide the youthful motions
Of her Dbody
From the music or the crowd
I stared like all others
With my Gright hand in my pocket
While she Ashowed us
Everything the law Dallowed.
[Instrumental]
 D   G   A   DX2
Twenty Dbucks an hour later
My Gone-bedroom apartment
I was Afeelin? weak
From all the seeds I'd Dsown
She was sweet, she was gentle
As she Gintroduced my body
To some Dpleasures
It had never ever known.
When I Gwoke up in the morning
She was a-laying there beside me 
Like a Dkitten
With her Aface turned to the Dsun
And a look of satisfaction
On her Glips that made me wonder
If she Aever felt ashamed
Of what we'd Ddone.
So I Dleft her in Atlanta
She was a-Gdancing in cafe
With a Dprice tag on her body
And a tomestoAne in her eye
And I Dguess she still ain't happy
By the Gway she keeps on staring
Past the Dother side of nowhere.

David Allan Coe - Atlanta Song

Capo 1

I met her in Atlanta

She was a-dancing in a cafe

With a price tag on her body

And a tombstone in her eye

You could tell she was not happy

By the way she kept on staring

Past the other side of nowhere

A D

At a man she'd like to try.

And the make-up she had painted

Could not hide the youthful motions

Of her body

From the music or the crowd

I stared like all others

With my right hand in my pocket

While she showed us

Everything the law allowed.

[Instrumental]

D G A D

Twenty bucks an hour later

My one-bedroom apartment

I was feelin? weak

From all the seeds I'd sown

She was sweet, she was gentle

As she introduced my body

To some pleasures

It had never ever known.

When I woke up in the morning

She was a-laying there beside me

Like a kitten

A D

With her face turned to the sun

And a look of satisfaction

On her lips that made me wonder

If she ever felt ashamed

Of what we'd done.

So I left her in Atlanta

She was a-dancing in cafe

With a price tag on her body

And a tomestone in her eye

And I guess she still ain't happy

By the way she keeps on staring

Past the other side of nowhere.
