Hoverin' by my suitcase tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night

A heavy rain a fallin' seems I hear your voice a callin' it's all right

On this rainy night in Georgia a rainy night in Georgia

I believe it's rainin' all over the world

Neon signs a flashin' taxicabs and buses passin' through the night

The distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain onto the night

On this rainy night in Georgia such a rainy night in Georgia

I think it's rainin' all over the world

How many times I have wondered but it always comes out the same

No matter how I look at it'll think about it

It's just like some of its pleasures some of its pain

[ piano ]

I find me a place in a boxcar so I take out my guitar to pass some time

Late at night when it's hard to rest

I hold your picture to my chest and then I'm all right

But it's still a rainy night in Georgia it's a rainy night in Georgia

I believe it must be rainin' all over this world all over the world rainy night in Georgia
