Going To Georgia Lyrics - Mountain Goats

[Verse 1] 

The most remarkable thing about coming home to you 

Is the feeling of being in motion again: 

Its the most extraordinary thing in the world 

[Verse 2] 

I have two big hands 

And a heart pumping blood 

And a 1967 Colt .45 with the busted safety catch 

[Chorus] 

The world shines 

As I cross the Macon county line 

Going to Georgia 

[Verse 3] 

The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway 

Is that it's you and that you are standing in the doorway 

And you smile as you ease the gun from my hand 

I am frozen with joy right where I stand 

[Verse 4] 

The world throws its light underneath your hair 

Forty miles from Atlanta 

This is nowhere 

Going to Georgia 

[Chorus]
