Livin' in a five room suite
The air conditioning's central heat,
14 floors above the traffic's roll
Gazing at a penthouse view,
got a built -in bar, a colored
TV too
And all my dreams,
I never asked for more
But I find I was wrong in dreaming,
for all my plans and all my scheming
Just ain't brought this old
boy peace of mind
And this fancy world that I'm a part of
somehow just don't have a heart of
The place called home that
I left far behind
And I wish I was back home in
Georgia, back home in
Georgia
Instead of this big old city all alone
Yes, I wish I was back home in
Georgia, back home in
Georgia
Well, there's a little more understandin'
And the world ain't so demandin'
And my baby waits for me to come
back home
I promised her I'd be back
In fancy clothes, a big
Cadillac
And make her queen of all that I survey
But every time I think I'm free,
there's another mountain callin' me
And I'm stuck back here for
another lonely day
Yes, I wish I was back home in
Georgia, back home in
Georgia
Instead of this big old city all alone
Yes, I wish I was back home in
Georgia, back home in
Georgia
Well, there's a little more understandin'
And the world ain't so demandin'
And my baby waits for me to come back
home
