Georgia On My Mind
Savage Bryan Lyrics

Back down memory lane, I began as my mother's bright idea
Reflecting on the past, I acknowledge that I owe my existence to my mother's initiative.

A short time later they all watched in awe and all of a sudden I'm here
My entrance into the world was met with amazement and surprise by those around me.

She was also my father so I hardly got to see her
Being brought up by a single parent who played both maternal and paternal roles meant that I didn't get to spend much time with her.

I was afraid of the dark, but it was only 'cause I was a believer
My fear of the dark stemmed from my belief in things that go bump in the night.

I was told when I was two years old
From a very young age, I was made aware of the high expectations people had for me.

She swore that I would be special
My mother had faith that I had a unique quality that would set me apart from others.

I took a good look around and thought
Taking stock of my surroundings, I felt confident that my birthplace would shape me in a positive way.

Don't worry mama this city's gonna help ya
I reassured my mother that the city of Georgia would play a significant role in helping me achieve greatness.

When they ask me where I'm from
When people inquire about my place of origin,

I'm proud to say that I'm your son
I feel a sense of pride to declare that I hail from the great state of Georgia and that it has helped shape me into the person I am today.

I'm movin' on using mostly dirt roads until I find my way
I'm taking the road less traveled and relying on sheer determination to reach my destination.

Campbellton Road, can't forget Cascade or remember both MLK
I have fond memories of these iconic areas in Georgia and I'm grateful for the role they played in shaping my character.

There's somethin' about Atlanta, doesn't cease to amaze me
I'm in awe of Atlanta and its ability to inspire and captivate me, even after all these years.

Oh, after all you even raised the people that raised me
Georgia has been a nurturing environment not just for me, but also for those who have played a significant role in raising me.

And my old man is very dead, can't be mad now why bother?
My father is no longer alive and holding onto anger towards him would be futile.

And you have been my mother nature also my godfather
Georgia has been like a parent to me, providing me with guidance and support as I journey through life.

Georgia, you'll always be home to me
Georgia will always hold a special place in my heart and I will always consider it home.

Georgia, I belong to you and yes you belong to me
I am deeply rooted in the culture and essence of Georgia and the state has a strong, positive impact on my identity.

When they ask me where I'm from
When people inquire about my place of origin,

I'm proud to say that I'm your son
I feel a sense of pride to declare that I hail from the great state of Georgia and that it has helped shape me into the person I am today.
