Georgia Lyrics

(Carolyn Dawn Johnson/Troy Verges)

If I`m not over you by the time I get to Georgia
Then I guess I`ll be Alabama bound
There was a time when I`d do anything for you
But this time, baby, I won`t turn around

I always wanted to get married, and I thought you were the one
But you never, ever asked me, and I was tired of hangin` on
You know a girl can only be let down so many times before she runs
And now this little bitty town`s only got room for one of us, yeah

You always said I`d never leave, and if I did I wouldn`t go far
So I know how I must look, with my tank `a gas and beat up heart
Well baby, I`m gone for good, you can count on that
Yeah, I`m gonna keep headin` west `til I`m too far gone to come back, yeah

And If I`m not over you by the time I get to Georgia
Then I guess I`ll be Alabama bound
There was a time when I`d do anything for you
But this time, baby, oh I won`t turn around

I only got ten miles to go before I cross the state line
I can feel my hands shakin`
`Cause they usually turn the wheel around about this time
I heard that same ol` voice inside, I had to drown it out
So I found me a radio station playin` something fast
And I turned it up real loud

And If I`m not over you by the time I get to Georgia
Then I guess I`ll be Alabama bound
There was a time when I`d do anything for you
But this time, baby, oh I won`t turn around

There was a time when I`d do anything for you
But this time, baby, oh I won`t turn around
No, I won`t turn around

If I`m not over you by Georgia, then I`ll head to Alabama
Roll on to Mississippi, or maybe Lou`siana
I`ll drive all the way to California
Oh, I won`t turn around
No, I won`t turn around
No, I won`t turn around
No, I won`t turn around (turn around, turn around)
I won`t, I won`t turn around, (no) I won`t turn around
