GEORGIA ON MY MIND LYRICS
Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia on my mind
Each day, Georgia A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still, in peaceful dreams, I see The road leads back to you, to you, My beautiful Georgia Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
Oh, Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
