Rainy Night in Georgia


Hoverin' by my suit case
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin'
It's alright

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

Neon signs flashin'
Taxi cabs and buses passin'
Through the night
A distant moanin' 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 rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' 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, 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 rainin' all over the world
Kinda lonely there and it's rainin' all over the world

Oh, Have you ever been lonely people
And you feel that it was rainin' all over this man's world
You're talkin' 'bout a-rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin' 
Rainin', a-rainin. a-rainin' rainin' over the world
I said now rainin'...
