Lyrics Georgia Pines - Tony Joe White

Georgia Pines

The trees grow tall
Where I come from
The leaves are green and fine
I was born in a one room shack
In a fields 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
I miss 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
I miss 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
