Lyrics of 'Georgia' by Carolyn Dawn Johnson

If I'm not over you, by the time I get to Georgia,
Then I guess I'll be Alabama bound,
There was a time when I'd do anything for ya,
But this time baby, I won't turn around.

I always wanted to get married, and I thought you were the one,
But you never, ever asked me and I was tired of hangin' on,
You know a girl can only be let down, so many times before she runs,
And now this little bitty town's only got room for one of us, yeah.

You always said I'd never leave, and if I did I wouldn't go far,
So I know how I must look with my tank o' gas and beat up heart,
Well, baby I'm gone for good, you can count on that,
I'm gonna keep headin' west 'til I'm too far gone to come back, yeah.

CHORUS:
And if I'm not over you, by the time I get to Georgia,
Then I'll be Alabama bound,
There was a time when I'd do anything for ya,
But this time baby, oh, I won't turn around.

I only got ten miles to go, before I cross the state line,
I can feel my hands shaking, 'cause they usually turn the wheel around about this time,
I heard that same ol' voice inside, I had to drown it out,
So I found me a radio station playing something fast and I turned it up real loud.

REPEAT CHORUS

There was a time when I'd do anything for ya,
But this time baby, oh, I won't turn around, yeah,
No I won't turn around,
If I'm not over you by the time I get to Georgia, then I'll head to Alabama,
Roll on to Mississippi, or maybe Louisiana,
I'll drive all the way to California,
Oh, I won't turn around,
No, I won't turn around,
No, I won't turn around,
No, I won't turn around.
