I'M GOING HOME TO GEORGIA
words and music by Lisa Null
My body is tired, my spirit is burned
I'm going home to Georgia
My poor heart is aching with all that I've learned
I'm going home to Georgia
Pour me a drink; it'll settle my thirst
You always knew what I loved best
Maybe it'll deaden this pain in my chest
I'm going home to Georgia
After all that I've travelled and all that I've seen
I'm going home to Georgia
It's none of your business just where I've been
I'm going home to Georgia
Sing me song; set my spirit at ease
You know all the tunes I love best
Maybe it'll lighten this weight on my chest
I'm going home to Georgia
I've brought you a secret as true as a rose
I'm going home to Georgia
The more tarnished it gets the brighter it glows
I'm going home to Georgia
In all of my wanderings I could never forget
You were the one I loved best
Lay yourself down, put your head on my breast
I'm going home to Georgia
"From the horses mouth..." Lisa dictated the words to me as I typed. She adds that she's still an active performer in the Washington, D.C. area.
