Georgia

[Verse 1] Back down memory lane I began as my mother's bright idea A short time later They all watched in awe and all of a sudden I'm here She was also my father So I hardly got to see her I was afraid of the dark But it was only because I was a believer [Pre-Chorus] I was told when I was two years old She swore that I would be special I took a good look around and thought, "Don't worry, Mama This city's gonna help you" [Chorus] (Thank you) Georgia (Georgia) You'll always be home to me Georgia (Georgia) I belong to you, and yes, you belong to me When they ask me where I'm from, uh I'm proud to say that I'm your son [Verse 2] I'm movin' on Using mostly dirt roads until I find my way Campbellton Road Can't forget Cascade or remember old MLK There's somethin' about Atlanta That doesn't cease to amaze me Oh, after all You even raised the people that raised me [Pre-Chorus] And my old man is buried there Can't be mad now, why bother? And you have been my Mother Nature Also my godfather [Chorus] (Thank you) Georgia (Georgia) You'll always be home to me Georgia (Georgia) I belong to you, and yes, you belong to me When they ask me where I'm from, uh I'm proud to say that I'm your son [Bridge] I surrender my soul, flesh and bone Inspired by the greatest love I know [Chorus] Georgia (Georgia) You'll always be home to me Georgia (Georgia) I belong to you, and yes, you belong to me When they ask me where I'm from, uh I'm proud to say that I'm your son [Outro] Georgia Georgia
