Georgia Lyrics - Charlie Daniels - Charlie Daniels Band

Lamps in the windows burnin' bright, over in Santa Fe tonight 

Full moon shining down along the border 

But the gound is hard and the night is black 

Over here by the railroad track 

And I wish to the Lord that I was back in Georgia 

Blue water in the indian sun, 

Calling me when the day is done 

Mama mama pray for your son 

All of my life I've been told 

That the LA streets was paved with gold 

Fame and fortune waiting to reward ya 

But it didn't take long to understand 

California ain't the promised land 

But at least a man's a man in georgia 

Blue skys in the mornin' there 

And there's green trees and breathin' air 

Rockabye in my easy chair 

Well it seems every river in the Georgia moonlight 

Flowing up where folks are free 

Tthe sun comes up through the lonely pine trees 

Over 'round the Kingsland ridge 

I maybe here but my mind is still 

About 90 miles north of Jacksonville 

Well I may not make it, it's a long long road 

But mama I've paid all the debts I owe 

And if I don't you know they gonna find me tryin' 

They took my songs and they took my soul 

They made me hard and they made me old 

Hell I just been born, but I feel just like I'm dying 

(refrain)
