Georgia
Georgia
The whole day through
(The whole day through)
Just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
(Georgia on my mind)

Georgia

(A song of you)
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines
[Refrain]
Other arms a-reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still, in the peaceful dreams, I see
The road leads back to you
[Verse 3]
I said, Georgia, oh, Georgia

Just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
(Georgia on my mind, oh)
[Refrain]
Other arms a-reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still, in peaceful dreams, I see
The road leads back to you
[Verse 4]
Oh, oh
Georgia
Georgia
No peace, no peace I find
Just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
(Georgia on my mind)
[Outro]
I said, just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
