Lyrics
This Georgia Sun
This Georgia Sun may someday let me go
This Georgia sun may release me
If this Georgia sun does someday let me go
She?ll never leave me completely
Went to meet some friends east of Atlanta
We went to dig for treasure in the Earth
The sun was hot I must?ve swung that axe 3000 times
But it never once felt like work
(chorus?this Georgia sun?)
My back is pink my overalls are dirty
My boots are filling up with reddish clay
If I tried to leave this place forever
Forever would last only for a day
(chorus)
Drove across I-20 it?s like a belt across this land
That I love and all that I know
I went to see that great western sky and it?s beautiful
But it never quite felt like home
(chorus)
