Lyrics Tony Joe White

Tony Joe White

Rainy Night In Georgia

Hoverin' by my suitcase

Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night

Heavy rain fallin'

Seems I hear your voice a callin', it's all right

Rainy night in Georgia

A rainy night in Georgia

Oh, it is rainin' all over the world

Neon signs flashin'

Taxicabs and buses passin' through the night

The distant moanin' of a train

Seems to play a sad refrain onto the night

Rainy night in Georgia

Rainy all night in Georgia

Lord, it's rainin' all over the world

Rain

How many times I wondered

But it still comes out the same

No matter how you look at it or think of it

You just got to do your own thing, oh, yes

I find me a place in a boxcar

Take out my old guitar to pass some time

Late at night when it's hard to rest

I hold your picture to my chest and I'm all right

But it's rainin' down Georgia

Such a cold, old lonesome night in Georgia

Sometimes y'all it just rains

Rains

One of them old slow drizzling

Rainin'
