I fell in love at a glance
Should've known I'd never have a chance
To be with you in the long run
You have a plan I am not in
You're gonna move up north to live again
Whenever school is over

So I have to let you go
But before you leave me here
There's something you should know

When the sun goes down in Georgia
I'll be driftin' back in time
Wishin' love could've changed your mind
And when the moonlight shines through the pine trees
I'll get lost in memories
Dreaming you are here with me
Oh it's sad but true
I'm just your love-sick fool
So when the sun goes down in Georgia, oh
I'll be missin' you

I bet you never had a clue
But I'd do anything to be with you
I'd leave this place in a heartbeat
I'd move away from my sweet home
Just to be your faithful tag-along
I'd follow you forever

But if you're better left alone
I'll do my best to understand
Still my love will linger on

Cause when the sun goes down in Georgia
I'll be drifting back in time
Wishin' love could've changed your mind
And when the moonlight shines through the pine trees
I'll get lost in memories
Dreaming you are here with me
Oh it's sad but true
I'm just your love-sick fool
So when the sun goes down in Georgia, oh
I'll be missin' you

Oh it's sad but true
I'm just your love-sick fool
So when the sun goes down in Georgia
I'll be missin' you
