"Back Home In Georgia" lyrics

Back Home In Georgia

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 just 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
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
