Hoverin' by my suitcase Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night A heavy rain is fallin' Seems I hear your voice callin', "It's all right" Rainy night in Georgia Rainy night in Georgia I believe it's rainin' all over the world I believe it's rainin' all over the world Neon signs flashin' Taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night The distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the night Rainy night in Georgia Rainy night in Georgia I believe it's rainin' all over the world I believe it's rainin' all over the world How many times I've wondered And it still comes out the same No matter how you look at it or think of it It's life, and you just gotta play the game I find me a place in a box car So I take out this old guitar to pass some time Late at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my chest and I'm alright Rainy night in Georgia Rainy night in Georgia I believe it's rainin' all over the world I believe it's rainin' all over the world
