Here’s how I hear it. (I also looked up some discographical data):


GEORGIA PINEYWOODS*
Written by Boudleaux Bryant & Felice Bryant
As recorded by The Osborne Brothers on “The Osborne Brothers” (1971) and several other albums.

INTRO: Miss those Georgia Pineywoods,
Ancient home of the Creek,
And the Cherokee,
And me.

1. I was born in the Georgia Pineywoods,
Fifteen miles from a groc’ry store—
No TV or gold-plate shiny goods,
Cracked linoleum on the floor.
We had cows in the back fields grazin’,
Chickens a-cacklin’ out in the pen
Life was good but it's amazin’
How I couldn’t see that back then.

CHORUS: Miss those Georgia Pineywoods.
Wonder if they miss me.
Lonesome for those Pineywoods,
Ancient home of the Creek,
And the Cherokee,
And me.

2. When I’d look for Indian arrowheads,
I was happy as Borden's cow.
I’ve lost all my Indian arrowheads.
They ain't no good to me here nohow.
I get paid now by the hour
And lead my typical suburb life.
Got credit cards and buyin' power,
And I owe more money than Caesar's wife. CHORUS


* Also spelled, on some albums, GEORGIA PINEY WOODS.
** On Buck Owens’ recording of this song, he seems to sing:

No TV or gold-plate china could
Crack linoleum on the floor.

I think this is a mondegreen committed by Owens.
