the moon over georgia

he owns a big estate

just south of savannah

and a high rise hotel in downtown atlanta

add half the state of georgia to his name

she'd be set for life in his colonial manner

he laid the world at her feet on a

silver platter

but all i had to offer her

was the moon

and she took the moon over georgia

she'd rather have a million stars in the sky

than a gold mine

she took the moon over georgia

when it came down to his world or mine she took

the moon over georgia

a little country house

in need of expansion

it's far cry from his south georgia mansion

but we've got our own paradise

shadows dancin' till dawn

with a full moon shinin'

and those occasional clouds all have a silver lining

there really must be something about

that old yellow light

'cause she took the moon over georgia

she'd rather have a million stars in the sky

than a gold mine

yeah she took the moon over georgia

when it came down to his world or mine

she took the moon over georgia

she took the moon over georgia
