On a highway in a town north of Atlanta
That radio, it stopped me in my tracks
It was a song I sang, a song I wrote
A couple of years back for ya
And it got me thinkin’ of how I miss my Georgia

Cause you’re in every song I sing, you’re in everything I do
In every breath I take and every I miss you
But I couldn’t do a damn thing
No right words that I could say
I couldn’t keep you here with a melody and now you’re just a memory
But girl you’ll always be, in every song I sing

I lived a life and love that you had grown to hate
I had a love affair with the road a stage and my six string
And though I couldn’t keep you here, I done all that I could do
And yet you’re gone tonight but this song I write it’s about you

Cause you’re in every song I sing, you’re in everything I do
In every breath I take and every I miss you
But I couldn’t do a damn thing
No right words that I could say
I couldn’t keep you here with a melody and now you’re just a memory
But girl you’ll always be, in every song I sing

I hope you know every night I take that stage
Girl I’d given up it all to make you stay
But I keep you in my heart in my own way

Through every song I sing, through everything I do
Through every breath I take and every I miss you
Oh but I couldn’t do a damn thing
No right words that I could say
I couldn’t keep you here with a melody and now you’re just a memory
But girl you’ll always be, in every song I sing
