Georgia On My Mind Lyrics - Merle Haggard

[Chorus] 

Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind 

And next to me my soon to be 

The one I left behind 

And lord it's killing me, to see her crying 

She knows I'm lying here beside her 

With Linda on my mind 

Yes I know that I once loved her 

And I placed no one above her 

And I never thought I'd ever set her free 

But it just wasn't in my plans 

The way Linda squeezed my hand 

The first time that I held her close 

As she danced with me 

She said I've loved you for a long time 

But you're married to a friend of mine 

And I've tried hard, to never let it show 

But my love for you is stronger 

I can't hide it any longer 

And so I thought I'd better let you know 

[Chorus] 

[Chorus]
