Broke Down In Georgia

Writers: TONY RAMEY, MICKEY CATES


Vs1)
BY NOW I SHOULD HAVE YESTERDAY AND 500 MILES BEHIND ME
I THOUGHT I WOULD BE FAR ENOUGH AWAY YOUR MEMORY WOULDN’T FIND ME
I HAD THOSE WHEELS A TURNIN’ BURNIN’ UP THE PASSIN’ LANE
JUST OUTSIDE SAVANNAH, I RAN INTO RAIN

CHORUS
AND BROKE DOWN IN GEORGIA
FROM THE WEIGHT OF THE LOAD
CRYING ON THE SHOULDER
OF A HARD AND LONELY ROAD
I MEANT TO HUG THAT WHITE LINE
CLEAR TO CALIFORNIA
BUT BABY HERE WE ARE
ME AND THIS OLD CAR
BROKE DOWN IN GEORGIA

Vs2)
I THOUGHT THIS OLD THUNDERBIRD WAS THE ONE THING I COULD COUNT ON
WITH THE MOUNTAINS AND MILES I HAVE TO CROSS
I HOPED ONE OF US COULD BE STRONG
BUT NOW THOSE HEADLIGHTS BLOW RIGHT BY ME
AND THE TAILIGHTS FADE TILL THEIR GONE
LOOKS LIKE I’M THE ONLY ONE OUT HERE NOT MOVING ON

REPEAT CHORUS

TAG:
I SWORE I’D HUG THAT WHITE LINE
CLEAR TO CALIFORNIA
BUT BABY HERE WE ARE
ME AND THIS OLD CAR
BROKE DOWN IN GEORGIA
