Walkin' Back To Georgia Lyrics
Jim Croce
Lyrics
I'm walkin' back to Georgia
And I hope, she will take me back
Nothin' in my pockets
And all I own is upon my back
But she's the girl who said she loved me
On that hot dusty Macon road
And if she's still around, I'm gonna settle down
With that hard lovin' Georgia girl
I'm walkin' back to Georgia
She's the only one who knows
How it feels when you lose a dream
And how it feels when you dream alone
But she's the girl who said she loved me
On that hot dusty Macon road
And if she's still around, I'm gonna settle down
With that hard lovin' Georgia girl
Georgia can you hear me callin'
Oh, I'll be home in just a while
And if I had to I'd be crawlin'
Just to share another mornin' smile
You're the girl who said you loved me
On that hot dusty long ago
And if you're still around, I'm gonna settle down
With you my hard lovin' Georgia girl, because
Because I'm walkin' back to Georgia
And I hope she will take me back
Nothin' in my pockets
And all I own is upon my back
But she's the girl who said she loved me
On that hot dusty Macon road
And if she's still around, I'm gonna settle down
With that hard lovin' Georgia girl
