Tony Joe White - Georgia Pines lyrics

The trees grow tall
Where I come from
The leaves are green and fine
I was born in a one room shack
In a field of Georgia Pines
I grew up and I got tired
Of that one room shack
So I went a-wandering
And now I wanna go back

Georgia Pines
Georgia Pines
How I missed that home of mine
Up here in the city
Just a-wasting my time
There ain't nothing green
But the rich man's money
The buildings are so tall
That the sun can't shine
Oh, how I wanna go back
To my Georgia Pines

I remember long ago
Blue eyes and golden hair
I'll make her mine
When I get home
Oh, Lord, please let her be there

Georgia Pines
Georgia Pines
How I missed that home of mine
Up here in the city
Just a-wasting my time
There ain't nothing green
But the rich man's money
The buildings are so tall
That the sun can't shine
Oh, how I wanna go back
To my Georgia Pines
