Georgia Rain

(album: Desperado - 2019)

I wanna get lost where no one knows my name
Somewhere dancing on this Georgia rain

I done been at the top looking down at the world where the sky stops
I done seen things happen up there that'll make you never want the top
Sometimes I long for the bottom to remember where I'm from
Instead of laying like a bullet in the barrel of a dead man's gun

Cause I been through hell and tasted heaven the same
Fortune and fame feel a lot like shackles and chains
There's something so priceless in a simple man's dreams
Cause this world ain't all of the gold and all the silver it seems

I wanna get lost where no one knows my name
I wanna be free of the things I can't change
I wanna get high and forget all my pain
I wanna dance in the middle of the storm
Walking on this Georgia Rain

I done been in the middle looking around at the world like a sweatshop
Working 40 plus hours every week just trying to get the bills to stop
I've been told another man's goal is worth chasing until my skin gets old
Living for the weekend coming when the liquor starts running and I need another check to blow

Cause I been through Monday and tasted Friday the same
Working for another man feel a lot like shackles and chains
But there's something so priceless in a working man's dreams
Cause this world ain't all of the gold and all the silver it seems

I wanna get lost where no one knows my name
I wanna be free of the things I can't change
I wanna get high and forget all my pain
I wanna dance in the middle of the storm
Walking on this Georgia Rain

I done been at the bottom looking up like everything that shines is gold
Cause I could use a little gold in my pockets when the world starts getting cold
I'm playing that Lotto tomorrow just praying that I might win
Cause I'm gonna buy a couple (of) cars and a mansion
Then I'm gone just like the wind!

I been on empty, had a full tank the same
Having nothing to your name feels a lot like shackles and chains
But there's something so priceless in a hungry man's dreams
Cause this world ain't all of the gold and all the silver it seems

I wanna get lost where no one knows my name
I wanna be free of the things I can't change
I wanna get high and forget all my pain
I wanna dance in the middle of the storm
Walking on this Georgia Rain

Eh, eh-yea, this Georgia rain, aw yeah, this Georgia rain
This Georgia rain, oh-wow
I wanna get lost where no one knows my name
Somewhere dancing on this Georgia rain
I wanna get lost, I wanna get, lost
Where no one knows my, name
