Rainy Night In Georgia

(album: Brook Benton Today - 1970)

Hovering by my suitcase
Trying to find a warm place
To spend the night
Heavy rain falling
Seems I hear your voice calling
"It's all right"

A rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it's raining
All over the world
I feel like it's raining
All over the world

Neon signs a-flashing
Taxicabs and buses passing
Through the night
A distant moaning of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain
To the night

A rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's raining
All over the world
I feel like it's raining
All over the world

How many times I wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter, how you look at it
Or think of it
It's life, and you just got
To play the game

I find me a place in a boxcar
So, I take my guitar
To pass some time
Late at night, when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest
And I feel fine, fine

But, it's a rainy night in Georgia
Baby, it's a rainy night in Georgia
I feel it's raining all over the world
Kinda lonely now
And it's raining all over the world
Oh, have you ever been lonely, people
And you feel that it was raining all over this man's world?
You're talking 'bout a-raining
Raining, raining, raining, raining, raining, raining
Raining, raining, raining, raining, raining, raining
A-raining, a-raining, raining, raining over the world
I said, now, raining, raining, raining, raining, rainin, raining, raining, raining, raining, raining
