Theres a town in Georgia
That I once called mine
Just across the muddy water
From the Carolina sideThey say home is a place you go
Where they have to take you in
I dont know if its really so
But Im goin back down againOh Augusta take me in
Oh Augusta take me inSavannah river from the overpass
Shinin bright in the mornin light
Like a fire in a whiskey glassI can hear the sirens clear across the water
And around the bend
And I can see thats its gonna be a little hard
To make amendsOh Augusta take me in
Oh Augusta take me in
'Cause I just cant seem to win
Oh Augusta take me inNow Im standin' on the shoulder
Of Sandbar Ferry road
Starin down at the same old ground
That I used to walk beforeThe only change is Im a stranger now
But I remember when
There was a time when I swore Id die
Before Id ever come back againOh Augusta take me in
Oh Augusta take me in
'Cause Im goin back down again
Oh Augusta take me in(Na, na, na, I cant win)
Oh Augusta take me in
(Goin down, down again)
Oh Augusta take me in(Across the water and around the bend)
No, take me, take me in
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Take me, take me, take me, take me in
