Goin' Back To Georgia

Lyrics

Oh the city snow makes your brown eyes shine
 We've gotta look real hard to find a reason to cry
 New York, New York is a friend of the travelling kind
 And I'm coming around from years of hard times
 He's chased me down through the towns and the miles
 Once stilled by love he was bound to roll on by
 (chorus)
 And if you feel my love won't leave you
 And if your sorrow has been your share
 If you are travelling back to Georgia
 Won't you take me with you there
 Well I'm long gone darlin', lonesome blue
 I been thinking of leavin', I been thinkin' of you
 But that big city singin', man, I like the way that it shines
 I was half a mile from Canada waitin' on a train
 Wonderin' and wishin' I could disappear again
 I been killed by love till it takes me to the end of the line
 (repeat chorus)
 Well, I've been troubled by a love untrue
 He's a fool who'll drown in his fountain of youth
 I can see that now as I'm walkin' and talkin' with you
 Well, I been blinded by the sun, washed in the rain
 Scattered in America, I'm scatterin' again
 But if you're goin' south darlin' I guess I'm travellin with you
 (repeat chorus twice)
 (tag)
 Take me with you...
 Oh... won't you take me home
