Georgia Pines - Tony Joe White

The trees grow tall

Where I come from

The leaves are green and fine

I was born in a one room shack

In a fields of Georgia Pines

I grew up and I got tired

Of that one room shack

So I went a-wandering

And now I wanna go back

Georgia Pines

Georgia Pines

I miss that home of mine

Up here in the city

Just a-wasting my time

There ain’t nothing green

But the rich man’s money

The buildings are so tall

That the sun can’t shine

Oh, how I wanna go back

To my Georgia Pines

I remember long ago

Blue eyes and golden hair

I’ll make her mine

When I get home

Oh, Lord

Please let her be there

Georgia Pines

Georgia Pines

I miss that home of mine

Up here in the city

Just a-wasting my time

There ain’t nothing green

But the rich man’s money

The buildings are so tall

That the sun can’t shine

Oh, how I wanna go back

To my Georgia Pines
