IF SHE KNEW THAT I WAS HERE WITH YOU

THERE AINT NO DOUBT ABOUT WHAT SHE WOULD DO

SO LETS GET DRESSED AND ILL BE ON MY WAY

YOU KNEW THAT I WAS PASSING THROUGH

I NEVER MEANT TO STAY.

AND I THINK ID BETTER GO BACK TO ATLANTA

BEFORE MY CONSCIENCE MAKES A FOOL OF ME

I NEVER SHOULD HAVE STEPPED ACROSS LOVES MASON DIXON LINE

AND I THINK ITS TIME TO GO BACK TO ATLANTA

IVE BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR A LONG LONG TIME

SHE WAS OUT OF SIGHT AND OUT OF MIND

BUT SHE STILL WEARS MY RING UPON HER HAND

ALL THAT I COULD BE TO YOU IS

JUST A ONE NIGHT STAND
