(Tony Joe White)
|
Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
|
Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right."
|
A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia
|
It seems like it's rainin' all over the world
|
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
|
|
Neon signs a-flashin', taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night
|
A distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the night
|
A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia
|
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world
|
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
|
|
How many times I wondered
|
It still comes out the same
|
No matter how you look at it or think of it
|
It's life and you just got to play the game
|
|
[Instrumental Interlude]
|
|
I find me a place in a box car, so I take my guitar to pass some time
|
Late at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my chest and I feel fine
|
(minor scat) But it's a rainy night in Georgia, baby, it's a rainy night in Georgia I
|
Feel it's rainin' all over the world, kinda lonely now And it's rainin' all over the world
|
|
Oh, have you ever been lonely, people?
|
And you feel that it was rainin' all over this man's world
|
You're talking 'bout rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin',
|
Rainin', rainin' rainin', rainin', rainin' [etc. to end]
