I got a nonstop one way flight tonight.
I goin fast as I can aint nobody in sight.
If I get pulled over now I got a good excuse.
See if I get outta here, I'll get over you.
Well, You always said life aint always fair.
But if that's what you think, baby why do you still care.
Cause by the time I get to where I lay my head,
You'll be sleeping in somebody else's bed.

So I'm countin on Georgia to set me free.
Just to get back from Tennessee.
And I know your gonna tell me how sorry you think I'll be.
Cause all I really wanted was to believe that you were the only man for me.
But hopes and dreams will worry I will leave.
I'm countin on Georgia, Oh Georgia to set me free.

Just as soon as I left today you behind.
All the memories started coming back to my mind.
You shoulda tried harder if you wanted to stop me.
But I aint asking for you and your sympathy.

So I'm countin on Georgia to set me free.
Just to get back from Tennessee.
And I know your gonna tell me how sorry you think I'll be.
Cause all I really wanted was to believe that you were the only man for me.
But hopes and dreams will worry I will leave.
I'm countin on Georgia, Oh Georgia to set me free.

If this is what you wanted.
You got your way.
Cause baby this is what I needed.
I've got nothing left to say.
Georgia, wont you set me free,
Just to get back from tennesee.
And I know your gonna tell me how sorry you think I'll be.
Cause all I really wanted was to believe that you were the only man for me.
But hopes and dreams will worry I will leave.
I'm countin on Georgia, I'm countin on Georgia,
I'm countin on Georgia oh Georgia, Georgia to set me free.
