lyrics

Goin’ Down To Georgia Before The Devil Brings The Rain

I used to think I loved you
I took it as a fact
Now the smoke is clearing
And I can’t react
I’m watching strangers’ faces
From the window of a train
I’m going down to Georgia
‘fore the devil brings the rain

They say faith moves mountains
Across the barren waste
So I look for a fountain
Where I can get a taste
But can what’s lost
Ever be regained?
‘Fore I go down to Georgia
And the devil brings the rain

I’m walking through the city
The city of tombs
Down blank boulevards
The city of ruins
Been alone such a long time
I barely know my own name
And I’m goin’ down to Georgia
‘fore the devil brings the rain

There’s beauty in the dawning
Of a summer day
There’s beauty in your face
When you look at me that way
I’ve loved you such a long time
You only bring me pain
I’m goin’ down to Georgia
‘fore the devil brings the rain
