Lyrics
Georgia Rain
© 2013/Hank Thomas all rights reserved
Jimmy was a poor boy from Atlanta
Jamie just a girl who fell his way
They hooked up just south of Savannah
She was thumbin' a ride out to L.A.
She was gonna be star, he said, "I'll bet you are you look like Hollywood."
He pulled out an old guitar and wrote a song about love
He sang about a blue-eyed girl standin' all alone on a red dirt road
One April night, in the Georgia Rain
Jimmy got their first break at a little whiskey bar.
Jamie watched him every night as he packed that house.
Women came from all around, some far as Omaha.
To hear him sing his lovin' song.
Chorus
He was gonna be a star, how she loved to hear them sing along
She couldn't love him any more than when he hit that note, sang her name,
Jimmy knew what true love was every time he looked into her eyes
She reminded him of Georgia rain
Bridge Lead
She was gonna be star, he said, "I'll bet you are you look like Hollywood."
She couldn't love him any more than when he hit that note, sang her name,
Jimmy knew what true love was every time he looked into her eyes
She reminded him of the Georgia rain
