Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right." Rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia Look like it's rainin' all over the world Lord, it's rainin' all over the world Neon lights a-flashin', lots of cabs and buses passin' through the night A distant moanin' of a train plays a very sad refrain to the night Rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia Look like it's rainin' all over the world Lord, it's rainin' all over the world How many nights I wondered But it still works out the same No matter how she looks at you and she knows it, darling It's life and you just got to play the game I find me a place in a box car, get my guitar to pass some time Late at night I go to rest I hold your picture to my chest and I feel fine Rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia Look like it's rainin' all over the world Lord, it's rainin' all over the world
