Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain is fallin'
Seems I hear your voice callin'
"It's all right"

But it's a rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's rainin' all over the world
Must be raining all over the world

Neon signs a flashin'
Taxi cabs and busses passin' through the night
The distant moanin' of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain to the night

But it's a rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's rainin' all over the world
Must be raining all over the world

How many times I've wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it, think of it
It's life and you just got to play the game

Find me a place in a box car
I take out my guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest
And feel fine

But it's a rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's rainin' all over the world
Must be raining all over the world
