Going Back to Georgia Lyrics


Oh the city snow makes your brown eyes shine
We've gotta look real hard to find a reason to cry
New York, New York is a friend of the traveling kindAnd I'm coming around from years of hard times
He's chased me down through the towns and the miles
Once stilled by love he was bound to roll on byAnd if you feel my love won't leave you
And if your sorrow has been your share
If you are traveling back to Georgia
Won't you take me with you thereWell I'm long gone darlin', lonesome blue
I been thinking of leavin', I been thinkin' of you
But that big city singin', man, I like the way that it shinesI was half a mile from Canada waitin' on a train
Wonderin' and wishin' I could disappear again
I been killed by love till it takes me to the end of the lineAnd if you feel my love won't leave you
And if your sorrow has been your share
If you are traveling back to Georgia
Won't you take me with you thereWell, I've been troubled by a love untrue
He's a fool who'll drown in his fountain of youth
I can see that now as I'm walkin' and talkin' with youWell, I been blinded by the sun, washed in the rain
Scattered in America, I'm scatterin' again

But if you're goin' south darlin' I guess I'm travelin with youAnd if you feel my love won't leave you
And if your sorrow has been your share
If you are traveling back to Georgia
Won't you take me with you thereAnd if you feel my love won't leave you
And if your sorrow has been your share
If you are traveling back to Georgia
Won't you take me with you thereTake me with you
Oh won't you take me home

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
