Alison Krauss', "Oh, Atlanta"
The Lyrics:
There ain't no hurry, cause I'm
On my way back to Georgia.
On my way back to Georgia.
Why:
Alison pronounces "Georgia" more like "Jawg-uh-JUH", thus stretching it out and making it fit the meter of the song. In this case, it could be there's some element of dialectical pronunciation here, as well as just stretching things to fit the meter.
