georgia in a jug

mason jars on the dresser filled with dollars and quarters

savin' em' for our trip around the world

but now that you changed your tune

there'll be no honeymoon

so tonight i'm going there without you girl

i'm going down to mexico

in a glass of tequila

going down to puerto rico

in a bottle of rum

going out to honolulu

in a mai tai mug

and i'm coming back home to georgia

in a jug

we'll never ride that bus to mexico city

that's a pity

we'll never sail our ship into old san juan

you'll never walk with me

on the beach at waikiki

and we'll never share that brick suburban home

today i'm taking that money out of that jar

tonight i'm buying my ticket

at the corner bar

i'm going down to mexico

in a glass of tequila

going down to puerto rico

in a bottle of rum

going out to honolulu

in a mai tai mug

and i'm coming back home to georgia

in a jug

yes

i'm coming back home to georgia

in a jug.
