Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Talking 'bout Georgia
I'm in Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
Georgia, sweet Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia on my mind
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back
It always leads back, leads back to you
I'm in Georgia, Georgia, sweet Georgia
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old sweet song
Keeps Georgia forever on my mind
Just an old sweet sweet sweet song
Keeps Georgia forever on my mind

Why Ray? Why not Hoagy?

Had to re-visit this. He was young with a slow hand on the mic. You can see the soul of the song resonate through his movements. What a soulful artist. He definitely felt the “Soul of it All”👄👩🏾💼
