Back Down in Georgia

One stop light

One football team

One chance to get out of there

On a piggy bank of dreams

Once she left

She told herself

There’s nothing in that town for ya

Back down in Georgia

Now she’s up bout every night

Can’t sleep with all that traffic

It never gets dark from those street lights

And she can’t help

But ask herself

Is this everything she wanted

Cause back down in Georgia

There’s a boy who

Can’t help but cross her mind

And there’s a mama

Hitting her knees

Talking to Jesus all the time

And there’s a daddy sending gas change

And a best friend sending pictures her way

Of a life she left and can’t get back

Down in Georgia

2 way calls

Too many tears

Too much thinking

She can’t make it here

But Every Sunday

Just like clock work

That hometown station

Spins those songs of hers

 

Back down in Georgia

There’s a boy who

Can’t help but cross her mind

And there’s a mama

Hitting her knees

Talking to Jesus all the time

And there’s a daddy sending gas change

And a best friend sending pictures her way

Of a life she left and can’t get back

Down in Georgia

20 long years of daydreaming

Bout where she is right now

Never expected she’d be missing

That one stop light town

Cause back down in Georgia

There’s a boy who

Can’t help but cross her mind

And there’s a mama

Hitting her knees

Talking to Jesus all the time

And there’s a daddy sending gas change

And a best friend sending pictures her way

Of a life she left and can’t get back

Down in Georgia

Of a life she left and won’t get back

Down in Georgia
