Hoverin' by my suitcase Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night Heavy rain is fallin' Seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right" But it's a rainy night in Georgia A rainy night in Georgia I believe it's rainin' all over the world Must be raining all over the world Neon signs a flashin' Taxi cabs and busses passin' through the night The distant moanin' of a train Seems to play a sad refrain to the night But it's a rainy night in Georgia A rainy night in Georgia I believe it's rainin' all over the world Must be 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 It's life and you just got to play the game Find me a place in a box car I take out my guitar to pass some time Late at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my chest And feel fine But it's a rainy night in Georgia A rainy night in Georgia I believe it's rainin' all over the world Must be raining all over the world
