Georgia On My Mind

Lyrics Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through just an old sweet song that keeps Georgia on my mind I said Georgia O I said Georgia a song, a song of you comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines Other arms reach out to me other eyes smile tenderly but still in peaceful dreams I see the road, woo the road leads back to you I said Georgia, no peace, no peace I find just an old sweet song that keeps you Georgia on my mind Other arms reach out to me other eyes smile tenderly but still in peaceful dreams I see the road, woo the road leads back to you I said Georgia no peace, no peace I find Just that old, sweet song that keeps you Georgia on my mind I said Georgia, Georgia, my sweet Georgia just that old sweet song that keeps you Georgia on my mind
