i was down in atlanta georgia so far away from home i woke up missin my baby and feelin so alone and only time can change my mind from feelin sad and blue longing longing for you got to find myself a song to sing waiting for the days to bring me closer to my home sweet home closer to the love i know i feel the sunshine on my face the smile i love the warm embrace longing longing for you i ve got a girl she s so fine she s in georgia on my mind i m thinkin bout her all the time and feelin so alone i m thinkin bout when i come home to her and to know i won t be longing longing anymore no i won t be longing longing anymore no i won t be longing longing anymore
