20 miles to georgia

highway ride on a cold dark night

and the sign says 20 miles to georgia

2am coming come again

been too long and i wanna see my momma

did she ever think she'd hear me say

after all the years i've been away

i know i'm getting older

did she ever think she'd see the day

the day her boys had grown and gone away

does she know she's getting older?

momma's gonna cook me supper

and georgia's gonna tuck me in

this town is gonna make me something special

i'm coming home again

thursday night see the front porch lights

wooden sign says my house in on the market

it took me 19 years

took 1000 years

till i realized i don't belong to georgia

did she ever think she'd hear me say

after all the years i've been away

i know i'm getting older

did she ever think she'd see the day

the day her boys had grown and gone away

does she know she's getting older?

momma's gonna cook me supper

and georgia's gonna tuck me in

this town is gonna make me something special

she never saw the world she could never go

or any foreign shores

she would never go

she deserves so much more

than she'll ever know

she'll ever know oh

momma's gonna cook me supper

georgia's gonna tuck me in

this town is gonna make me something special

i'm coming home

i'm coming home again

i'm coming home

i'm coming home again

i'm coming home

i'm coming home baby

i'm coming home

georgia's gonna tuck me in

i'm driving down the highway

checking the signs

saying 20 miles away from the georgia state line

check it to the left

pass it on the right

gonna make it home it if takes all night

driving down the highway

checking the signs

saying 20 miles away from the georgia state line

check it to the left

pass it on the right

gonna make it home if it takes all night
