Sweet Peach Georgia Wine Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was on my way from Daulton
I headed for Atlanta
A-thinking about that girl I left behind
When a voice so soft and tender
Floated down to me from the window
"Would you like a taste of that sweet peach Georgia wine?"
Well, she showed me to the backdoor
And she told me what it was for
Said, "You can come back and see me any old time"
And just as I was going that old sheriff must have gone in
He said, "Boy, you've been in my sweet peach Georgia wine"

[Chorus]
Now how was I supposed to know she was the sheriff's daughter?
She was only sweet sixteen but she looked a lot older
Well, I guess I've learned my lesson, son
You know I'm doing my ten to twenty-one
Just for tasting that sweet peach Georgia wine

[Chorus]
Now how am I supposed to know she was the sheriff's daughter?
She was only sweet sixteen but she looked a lot older
Well, I guess I've learned my lesson, son
You know I'm doing my ten to twenty-one
Just for tasting that sweet peach Georgia wine

[Verse 3]
If I ever get out of this jail house, I ain't never gonna slow down
Until I reach that Georgia border line
Well, maybe one quick stop down in Macon
'Cause I hate to leave these parts and not take it
One more taste of sweet peach Georgia wine

[Chorus]
Now how am I supposed to know she was the sheriff's daughter?
She was only sweet sixteen but she looked a lot older
Well, I guess I've learned my lesson, son
You know I'm doing my ten to twenty-one
Just for tasting that sweet peach Georgia wine
