Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I spent a lot of time underneath the lights down in San Antoine

Yeah, I make good memories just about everywhere I go

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Sometimes you gotta put it all behind ya

But there's one thing that just can't get off my mind

When I talk about Georgia

It's the colour in your eyes

Or the summertime shining on ya

I remember every mile

Yeah, you drove me wild, baby

And the way it felt like nothing else

It's true, girl, I think about you

When I talk about Georgia

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, my buddies still talk about that Daytona trip

Many years fly by, damn, it's hard to remember it

Fast-lane through Oklahoma

Tequila nights in California

But there's just one goodbye that gets me every time

When I talk about Georgia

It's the colour in your eyes

Or the summertime shining on ya

I remember every mile

Yeah, you drove me wild, baby

And the way it felt like nothing else

It's true, girl, I think about you

When I talk about Georgia

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, you're right here

You come back

Oh, baby, just like that

When I talk about Georgia

It's the colour in your eyes

Or the summertime shining on ya

I remember every mile

Yeah, you drove me wild, baby

And the way it felt like nothing else

It's true, girl, I think about you

When I talk about Georgia

Yeah!

Oh, when I talk about Georgia

Yeah, yeah
