"Rainy Night In Georgia"

(As recorded by Brook Benton)
TONY JOE WHITE

Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
A heavy rain a-fallin'
Seems to hear your voice callin', it's all right.

A rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's raining all over the world.

How many times have I wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it
You just got to do your own thing.

Neon signs a-flashing
Taxi cabs and buses passing through the night
The distant moanin' of the train
Seems to play a sad refrain to the night.

A rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's raining all over the world.

I find me a place in a box car
So I take out my guitar and pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest
And I'm all right.

A rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's raining all over the world.
