• Melodies bring memoriesThat linger in my
  heart Make me think of GeorgiaWhy did we ever

  that's where I belong.Georgia, Georgia, the
  whole day through Just an old sweet song keeps
  Georgia on my mind. Georgia, Georgia, a song of
  youComes as sweet and clear as moonlight through
  the pines.Other arms reach out to me Other eyes
  smile tenderlyStill in peaceful dreams I see
  The road leads back to you.Georgia, Georgia, no
  peace I find Just an old sweet song keeps
  Georgia on my mind.
