Back Home In Georgia

(album: Hot A' Mighty - 1973)

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Living in a five room suite air conditioned and central heat
Fourteen floors above the traffic's roar
Gazing out a penthouse view got a built-in bar a color TV too
In all my dreams I never asked for more

But I find I was wrong in dreaming where all my plans and all my scheming
Just ain't brought this old boy peace of mind
And this fancy world that I'm a part of somehow don't have the heart of
The place called home that I left far behind

And I wish I was back home in Georgia back home in Georgia
Instead of this big old city all alone
Yes I wish I was back home in Georgia back home in Georgia
Where there's a little more understanding and the world ain't so demanding
And my baby waits for me to come back home

I promised her I'd be back in fancy clothes a big Cadillac
And make her queen of all that I surveyed
But every time I think I'm free well there's another mountain calling me
And I'm stuck back here for another lonely day

Yes I wish I was back home in Georgia...
