rainy night in georgia

hoverin' by my suitcase

tryin' to find a warm place

to spend the night

heavy rain fallin'

seems i hear your voice callin'

that it's alright

rainy night in georgia

such a rainy night in georgia

i feel it's rainin' all over the world

rainin' all over the world

neon signs a-flashin'

taxi cabs and buses passin'

through the night

a distant moanin' of a train

seems to play a sad refrain to the night

rainy night in georgia

oh

it's a rainy night in georgia

it seems it's rainin' all over the world

rainin' all over the world

how many times i wondered

but it still comes out the same

no matter how you look at it or you think of it

oh

you just got to do your own thing

i find me a place in a box car

so i take out my guitar

to pass some time

late at night when it's hard to rest

i hold your picture to my chest

then i'm alright

a rainy night in georgia

such a rainy night in georgia

i feel it's rainin' all over the world

rainin' all over the world

rainin' all over the world
