Hoverin' by my suitcase 
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night 
Heavy rains are fallin' 
It seems I hear your voice 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 flashin' 
Taxi, cabs and buses passin' through the night 
A distant moanin' of the 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 
Well, it's life and we just gotta play the game 

I find me a place in a box car 
So I take my guitar to pass some time 
But late at night when 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, 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 
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world 
I believe it's rainin' all over the world
