That Night in Georgia

Darleen I love you
Call you darling for short
I wrote your name on a matchbook
Back in 1974
Your sister’s name was Sissy
And your folks had passed away
And I caught myself dreaming
About a lake in GA
Well, that night in Georgia
That night in joy
That night in Georgia
We fell in love
Well, that night in Georgia
That night in joy
That night in Georgia
We fell in love
Transistor radio, it’s resting against the bed
And all the talk show stations are putting ideas in your head
Well just because I’m going, well that don’t mean for good
And you go my next truck stop is in our neighborhood
Well, that night in Georgia
That night in joy
That night in Georgia
We fell in love
Well, that night in Georgia
That night in joy
That night in Georgia
We fell in love
Driving up to Conyers
The place of her birth
I still can’t believe last Wednesday
They laid her in the earth
Well, all those things we said we’d do
We just never did
Like taking that one great vacation
Just one time without the kids
Well, that night in Georgia
That night in joy
Well, that night in Georgia
We fell in love
Well, that night in Georgia
That night in joy
Well, that night in Georgia
We fell in love
