"Doraville, just a country in the city!" "Doraville, touch of country in the city!"
I lived 2 miles from Doraville in the '60s when this song was king.
It was a little town full of 'good ole boys' that just became another signpost of never-ending Atlanta up Buford Hwy near Chamblee.
It retained some of it's rural feel....thus a touch of countey even though it was nestled smack-dab in the "Big A".

I had your name in the header on my Doraville post.
Don't know why it disappeared.

Unless there's another song I don't know about, your time-line is a little off. Atlanta Rythym Section's "Doraville" was late 1970's.
http://www.atlantarhythmsection.com/disc09Writeup.htm I lived in 30360, which is the Doraville post office, for 10 years in my first house, but we were over right next to Dunwoody, well west of PIB. Before PIB turned into a stretch of Interstate.

Eddie is probably right about that lyric, though I'd have to pull out my old album (I only had the one ARS album) and check the liner notes to be sure.
[Gen Y puppy to Gen X'er: "What's a liner? What're 'liner notes'? What's he talking about?"]
Nice to know there are still some ARS aesthetes around!
