When it's springtime down in Georgia   It's winter time up in Maine   You can go from snow to sunshine   If you board a southbound train   You get used to taking orders   But it's sometimes kind of rough   I got everything that a man could need   But it still ain't quite enough      Taking about oh Georgia take me to your Southlands   I sometimes feel my life is rolling on   Oh Georgia lead me through your heartlands   I need to see them one more time before I'm gone      When it's nighttime down in Georgia   It's daytime in L.A.   Where they never seem to do much   But they sure got lots to say   The times are changing down in Georgia   Though not always for the best   Give me thirty five good acres lord   And let progress take the rest      Talking about oh Georgia take me to your Southlands   I sometimes feel that life is rolling on   Oh Georgia lead me through your heartlands   I need to see them one more time before they're gone      Oh Georgia take me to your Southlands   I sometimes feel that life has passed me by   Oh Georgia lead me through your heartlands   I need to see them one more time before I die
