GEORGIA PINES

(Bobby Buie, John Rainey Adkins)

Trees grow tall
Where I come from
The leaves are green and fine
I was born in a one room shack
In a field of Georgia Pines

I grew up and I got tired
Of that one room shack
So I went a wandering
And now I wanna go back

Georgia Pines, Oh Georgia Pines
How I missed that home of mine
Up here in the city
Just wasting my time
There ain't nothing green
But the rich man's money
The buildings are so tall
The sun can't shine
Oh, how I wanna go back
To my Georgia Pines

I remember long ago
Blue eyes and golden hair
When I get home
I'll make her mine
Oh, God, please let her be there

Georgia Pines, Oh Georgia Pines
How I missed that home of mine
Up here in the city
Just wasting my time
There ain't nothing green
But the rich man's money
The buildings are so tall
The sun can't shine
Oh, how I wanna go back
To my Georgia Pines
To my Georgia Pines

To my Georgia Pines, To my Georgia Pines
To my Georgia Pines, Yeah to my Georgia Pines
Take me to my Georgia Pines, To my Georgia Pines.
