Georgia on My Mind
Count Basie Orchestra Ray Charles Lyrics

Georgia, Georgia,
Starting the song by singing about Georgia multiple times, setting the scene for the rest of the lyrics.

The whole day through
Georgia is on the singer's mind constantly, every moment of the day.

Just an old sweet song
The song about Georgia is old, but it still strikes a deep chord with the singer because of its sweetness.

Keeps Georgia on my mind
The song serves as a reminder of Georgia and it's always on the singer's mind.

I said Georgia
The singer repeats Georgia's name, emphasizing the importance it holds.

A song of you
Georgia's essence is captured perfectly in the song dedicated to it.

Comes as sweet and clear
The song is beautiful, and its words and melody perfectly capture Georgia's essence.

As moonlight through the pines
The song fills the singer with the same awe and beauty as moonlight shining through a pine forest.

Other arms reach out to me
Even though other people are trying to get the singer's attention, they can't distract them from thinking about Georgia.

Other eyes smile tenderly
Other people try to make the singer happy, but nothing compares to the happiness they feel when thinking about Georgia.

Still in peaceful dreams I see
Georgia invades the singer's dreams and fills them with peace and comfort.

The road leads back to you
No matter where the singer goes, they always find themselves thinking about Georgia and wanting to return.

Ooh Georgia, no peace I find
Even though Georgia brings the singer comfort, they still feel restless, unable to find complete peace without it.

Just this old, sweet song
The song about Georgia may be old, but it still has a powerful hold on the singer's heart and mind.

Keeps Georgia on my mind
The song continues to remind the singer of Georgia, never letting it fade from their thoughts.
