Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
A-heavy rain a-fallin'
Seems I hear your voice callin' it's all right
[Verse 2]
A rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
Oh, I believe it's rainin' all over the world
[Verse 3]
Neons signs are flashin'
Taxicabs and busses passin' through the night
The distant moanin' of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain to the night
[Verse 4]
A rainy night in Georgia
It's such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world
[Verse 5]
How many times I've wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it, think of it
You just got to do your own thing
[Verse 6]
I find me a place in a boxcar
So I take out my guitar to pass some time
I played at night, when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest, and I'm alright
[Verse 7]
A rainy night in Georgia
Lord, it's such a rainy night in Georgia
It's rainin' all over the world
[Verse 8]
Rainin' all over the world
