When it's springtime down in Georgia 
It's winter time up in Maine 
You can go from snow to sunshine 
If you board a southbound train 
You get used to taking orders 
But it's sometimes kind of rough 
I got everything that a man could need 
But it still ain't quite enough 
 
Taking about oh Georgia take me to your Southlands 
I sometimes feel my life is rolling on 
Oh Georgia lead me through your heartlands 
I need to see them one more time before I'm gone 
 
When it's nighttime down in Georgia 
It's daytime in L.A. 
Where they never seem to do much 
But they sure got lots to say 
The times are changing down in Georgia 
Though not always for the best 
Give me thirty five good acres lord 
And let progress take the rest 
 
Talking about oh Georgia take me to your Southlands 
I sometimes feel that life is rolling on 
Oh Georgia lead me through your heartlands 
I need to see them one more time before they're gone 
 
Oh Georgia take me to your Southlands 
I sometimes feel that life has passed me by 
Oh Georgia lead me through your heartlands 
I need to see them one more time before I die
