I got a nonstop one way flight tonight
I goin fast as I can aint nobody in sight
If I get pulled over now I got a good excuse
See if I get outta here, I'll get over you
Well, You always said life aint always fair
But if that's what you think, baby why do you still care
Cause by the time I get to where I lay my head,
You'll be sleeping in somebody else's bed

So I'm countin on Georgia to set me free
Just to get back from Tennessee
And I know your gonna tell me how sorry you think I'll be
Cause all I really wanted was to believe that you were the only man for me
But hopes and dreams will worry I will leave
I'm countin on Georgia, Oh Georgia to set me free

Just as soon as I left today you behind
All the memories started coming back to my mind
You shoulda tried harder if you wanted to stop me
But I aint asking for you and your sympathy

So I'm countin on Georgia to set me free
Just to get back from Tennessee
And I know your gonna tell me how sorry you think I'll be
Cause all I really wanted was to believe that you were the only man for me
But hopes and dreams will worry I will leave
I'm countin on Georgia, Oh Georgia to set me free

If this is what you wanted
You got your way
Cause baby this is what I needed
I've got nothing left to say
Georgia, wont you set me free,
Just to get back from tennesee
And I know your gonna tell me how sorry you think I'll be
Cause all I really wanted was to believe that you were the only man for me
But hopes and dreams will worry I will leave
I'm countin on Georgia, I'm countin on Georgia,
I'm countin on Georgia oh Georgia, Georgia to set me free
