Georgia, Georgia The whole day through (the whole day through) Just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind) I'm say Georgia, Georgia A song of you (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 I said Georgia, oh Georgia No peace I find (peace I find) Just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind) Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you Woah, Georgia, Georgia No peace, no peace I find Just an old, sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind) I said just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind
