Georgia Lyrics 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
    yeah
    i always wanted to get married
    and i thought you were the one
    but you never ever asked me
    and i was tired of hanging 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
    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 of gas and beat up heart
    well baby i’m gone for good
    you can count on that
    yeah i’m gonna keep headin west
    till i’m too far gone to come back
    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 i won’t turn around
    only got 0 miles to go
    before i cross the state line
    i can feel my hands shakin
    cause they usually turn the wheel around about this time
    i heard that same old voice inside
    i had to drown it out
    so i found me a radio station playin somethin fast
    and turn it up real loud
    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 i won’t turn around
    there was a time when i’d do anything for ya
    but this time baby i won’t turn around
    no i won’t turn around
    if i’m not over you by georgia
    then i’ll head to alabama
    roll onto mississippi
    and maybe louisianna
    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
