Lyrics
Midnight in Georgia
Written by: andrew browne
ive been hungry ive been scared been places some would never dare
been beat up bean put down but never once lost my ground worked my fingers to the bone trying to find my way back home god knows shes so many miles but the thought only makes me smile
refrain:
ill leave it to you to understand .i left here half a man ,leave it to you to reason why some still holler while old glory flies
chorus one
Midnight in georgia and im pushing on thru like the leaves that rain in fall southern skies and dog day afternoons
verse two
my boots may be worn,my clothes ripped and torn
lines on my face a little easier to trace
as time takes its toll and young man has grown
wondering all the while why the hell he fought so hard
refrain
i ll leave it to you to understand deep in the heart of every man the a place he calls his own from where his his strengh is born ......
chorus two
midnight in georgia and im pushin on thru like the leaves that rain in fall red clay deep in my shoe
midnight in georgia and im pushin on thru like the leaves that rain in fall southern skies and dog day afternoons.
refrain two
ill it to you to understand i left here half a man leave it to you reason why sun looks brighter over southern skies
outro
moon river shes callin
as sherman marches on thru
brother fight brothers blood reins brght over grey and blue
midnight in georgia and im pushin on thru like the leaves that rain in fall red clay deep in my shoe
midnight in georgia repeat
and im missing pinning over you
