Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Georgia Georgia the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind Georgia on my mind
Georgia Georgia a song of you comes as sweet and clear as moonlight to the pines
Other arms reach out to be other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see the road leads back to you

Georgia Georgia no peace I find
Hust an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
(Georgia Georgia no peace I find)




Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
