Georgia I'M Coming Home

I am sitting in this bus station, waiting to go home Oh Georgia its been a long, long time and I feel so all alone I want to feel the crisp morning wind, whispering through the pines Down by the river in a special spot, I called all mine Hey Nashville Oh Nashville you never played my songs And put my songs on the bottom of the pile of no play ones Nashville I Guess you had a lot of fun proving this Georgia boy wrong Hey Nashville, Oh Nashville you never played my songs I was a struggling song writer and not good enough for Nashville’s newest scene 16th avenue was not what I figured, but I thought I met their every need But it just wasn’t good enough, so I picked up my guitar left I got out Now out of money and with plenty of time just sitting waiting for that bus With no regrets and no bad feelings about the chances that I took I made a lot of friends, the nightlife was fun and the parties really shook But my heart does ache and I my pockets are empty with a big hole in my boots Now I am going down to my country home and get back my roots Hey Nashville, Oh Nashville you never played my songs Guess they got on the bottom of a pile of no play songs Nashville I guess you had a lot of fun proving this Georgia boy wrong Hey Nashville, Oh Nashville, You never played my song
