Georgia

When I think of Georgia, I think of you

High as a kite in the second pew

You were my best friend, the light of my youth

And the only one back then that knew the whole truth

'Cause if I told my mom

She would scream at the top of her lungs

Saying I don't belong

I don't belong

Sure hope she's wrong

I wanted to be honest

I wanted to be brave

But if my grandmother knew

She would roll in her grave

And my father would scream

He'd scream out in rage

He did not want a daughter whose soul wasn't saved

He thought if I told the world

They would not see me as the same girl

They'd say I don't belong

I don't belong

Well, that's where he's wrong

There is a place past the Georgia pines

And people who welcome you with an open mind

And they say it'll take, it'll just take some time

'Til love, it belongs to all humankind

Oh, 'cause I told the world

And they still saw me as the same girl

They listen to my songs

And they made me feel like I belong

Yeah, they make me feel like I belong

Oh Georgia, you were wrong
