(Intro, 8 measures)
Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin',
it seems I hear your voice that’s callin' "It's all right."
It’s a rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it’s rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
Neon signs a-flashin'
Taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night
A distant moanin' of a train.
it seems to play a sad refrain to the night
It’s a rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
How many times I wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
Oh it's life and we just got to play the game
(Instrumental, 8 measures)
I find me a place in a box car,
So I take my guitar to pass some time
But late at night it's hard to rest,
I hold your picture to my chest and I feel fine
But it's a rainy night in Georgia,
Baby, it's such a rainy rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world
I believe it's rainin' all over the world
Oh, it’s a rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
Oh Lord, I believe it’s rainin’ all over the world
I believe it’s rainin’ all over the world
