Highway ride on a cold dark night   And the sign says 20 miles to Georgia   2 a.m. coming, come again   Been too long and I wanna see my momma      Did she ever think she'd hear me say   After all the years I've been away   I know I'm getting older   Did she ever think she'd see the day   The day her boys had grown and gone away   Does she know she's getting older?      Momma's gonna cook me supper   And Georgia's gonna tuck me in   This town is gonna make me something special   I'm coming home again      Thursday night, see the front porch lights   Wooden sign says my house in on the market   It took me nineteen years, took one thousand years   Till I realized I don't belong to Georgia      Did she ever think she'd hear me say   After all the years I've been away   I know I'm getting older   Did she ever think she'd see the day   The day her boys had grown and gone away   Does she know she's getting older?      Momma's gonna cook me supper   And Georgia's gonna tuck me in   This town is gonna make me something special      She never saw the world, she could never go   Or any foreign shores, she would never go   She deserves so much more than she'll ever know   She'll ever know, oh      Momma's gonna cook me supper   Georgia's gonna tuck me in   This town is gonna make me something special      I'm coming home, I'm coming home again   I'm coming home, I'm coming home again   I'm coming home, I'm coming home baby   I'm coming home, Georgia's gonna tuck me in      I'm driving down the highway, checking the signs   Saying 20 miles away from the Georgia state line   Check it to the left, pass it on the right   Gonna make it home it if takes all night      Driving down the highway, checking the signs   Saying 20 miles away from the Georgia state line   Check it to the left, pass it on the right   Gonna make it home if it takes all night
