No. 34 in Atlanta

Well my record's not doing too good up in Boston and I think it's going down up in Maine,
Nobody's heard it way down in Texas but I'm proud of being just the same.

Hey I ain't playing no psicodelic music, and I'm liking it more every day,
and I'd rather be number 34 in Atlanta than to be number 1 in L.A.

I'd rather pick my Gibson five string banjo to play me a mean tamarine,
I'd rather walk around with a girl from my hometown than chase me a big movie queen,

Rock and roll music is attempting me,
and is telling me there's no other way,
but I'd rather be number 34 in Atlanta than to be number 1 in L.A.

Give me that old time gospel music and you'll be hearing my song.
Mr. Scrugs won't you teach me the five string banjo before the electric haugin comes along.

Well, bless my soul music has got me going, but country music is leading the way,
and I'd rather be number 34 in Atlanta than to be number 1 in L.A.
Yeah, I'd rather be number 34 in Atlanta than to be number 1 in L.A.
