"Georgia" lyrics - CEELO GREEN

Back down memory lane
I began as my mother's bright idea
A short time later
They all watched in awe and all of a sudden I'm here
She was also my father
So I hardly got to see her
I was afraid of the dark
But it was only because I was a believer

[Pre-Chorus:]
I was told when I was two years old
She swore that I would be special
I took a good look around and thought, "Don't worry, Mama
This city's gonna help you"

[Chorus:]
(Thank you) Georgia (Georgia)
You'll always be home to me
Georgia (Georgia)
I belong to you, and yes, you belong to me
When they ask me where I'm from, uh
I'm proud to say that I'm your son

I'm movin' on
Using mostly dirt roads until I find my way
Campbellton Road
Can't forget Cascade or remember old MLK
There's somethin' about Atlanta
That doesn't cease to amaze me
Oh, after all
You even raised the people that raised me

[Pre-Chorus:]
And my old man is buried there
Can't be mad now, why bother?
And you have been my Mother Nature
Also my godfather

[Chorus:]
(Thank you) Georgia (Georgia)
You'll always be home to me
Georgia (Georgia)
I belong to you, and yes, you belong to me
When they ask me where I'm from, uh
I'm proud to say that I'm your son

[Bridge:]
I surrender my soul, flesh and bone
Inspired by the greatest love I know

[Chorus:]
Georgia (Georgia)
You'll always be home to me
Georgia (Georgia)
I belong to you, and yes, you belong to me
When they ask me where I'm from, uh
I'm proud to say that I'm your son

[Outro:]
Georgia
Georgia
