Georgia on My Mind Lyrics

Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind.
I said Georgia, Oh 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.

I said Georgia, Oh Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind.
