Could it be "ATLANTA GEORGIA STRAY" - Sonny Curtis
On the Greyhound bus trip home I was feelin' all alone When a long haired gal sat down next to me She said she was Atlanta bound kill some time maybe kick around Cause it sounded like a friendly place to be From Chicago to Kentucky we just talked awhile And somewhere in between I was captured by her smile But why I left the bus in Nashville has been a mystery til today Cause for two years I've been trackin' down that Atlanta Georgia stray
Well she said all living things have a secret pair of wings And I'm of the lucky ones who learned to fly Though I don't even know your name I can tell we're much the same Cause you've got that faraway look in your eyes Right then I knew I'd found what I've been searching for And by the tears that filled her eyes she felt the same I'm almost sure But why I left the bus in Nashville has been a mystery til today Cause for two years I've been trackin' down that Atlanta Georgia stray
