Rainy Night In Georgia, by Tony Joe White (1962)
Hoverin' by my suitcase,
tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin', seems
I hear your voice callin' "It's all right."
A rainy night in Georgia,
a rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
Neon signs a-flashin',
taxi cabs and buses pa**in' through the night
A distant moanin' of a train
seems to play a sad refrain to the night
A rainy night in Georgia,
such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
How many times I wondered
It all comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
Yyou just got to do your own thing
I find me a place in a box car,
so I take out my guitar to pa** some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
I hold your guitrar to my chest and I'm alright
But it's a rainy night in Georgia,
baby, it's a rainy night in Georgia
I feel it's rainin' all over the world,
And it's rainin' all over the world
