Lyrics
========================================================================
Hov'rin by my suitcase,
tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night.
Heavy rain a falling,
seems I hear your voice calling it's alright.

A rainy night in Georgia,
A rainy night in Georgia,
I believe it's raining all over the world.

Neon signs a-flashing,
Taxicabs and buses passing through the night.
The distant moaning of a train,
seems to play a sad refrain to the night.

A rainy night in Georgia,
A rainy night in Georgia,
I believe it's raining all over the world.

How many times I've wondered,
it still comes out the same.
No matter how you look at it, think of it,
you just got to do your own thing.
(it's life and you just got to play the game)

I find me a place in a box car,
so I take my guitar out to pass some time.
Late at night when it's hard to rest,
I hold your picture to my chest and I'm alright.

A rainy night in Georgia,
A rainy night in Georgia,
I believe it's raining all over the world.
