Burn, Georgia, Burn Lyrics - Alabama

Atlanta was on fire and so was she the night he left her 

Left her there to bear her pain alone 

Hoping soon to return, burn, Georgia, burn 

The roaring of the guns filled the emptiness inside her 

Where once she felt the pounding of her heart 

When he held her in his arms, tenderness they learned 

Burn, Georgia, burn 

He was the body, she was the soul 

Of a love affair they couldn't control 

While the world was falling down around them 

They were not concerned, burn, Georgia, burn

Winter brought the snow and a rider down from Franklin 

With news of how the war had taken toll 

And he would not return, burn, Georgia, burn 

He was the body, she was the soul 

Of a love affair they couldn't control 

While her world was falling down around them 

They were not concerned, burn, Georgia, burn

While strolling through her mind 

She stumbled on an old, familiar feeling 

Of how he touched her many years ago 

And how he made her yearn, burn, Georgia, burn
