Georgia’s State Song:Georgia on My Mind

Written by: Stuart GorrellComposed by: Hoagy Carmichael

Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.

Georgia, Georgia, a song of youComes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines.

Other arms reach out to meOther eyes smile tenderly

Still in peaceful dreams I seeThe road leads back to you.

Georgia, Georgia, no peace I findJust an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.

Melodies bring memoriesThat linger in my heart

Make me think of GeorgiaWhy did we ever part?

Some sweet day when blossoms fallAnd all the world's a song

I'll go back to Georgia'Cause that's where I belong.
