Highway ride on a cold dark night
And the sign says 20 miles to Georgia
2am coming home again
Been too long and I wanna see my momma
Did she ever think she'd hear me say
After all the years I've been away
I know I'm getting older
Did she ever think she'd see the day
The day her boys had grown and gone away
Does she know she's getting older?
Momma's gonna cook me supper
And Georgia's gonna tuck me in
This town is gonna make me
something special
I'm coming home again
Thursday night see the front porch lights
Wooden sign says my house is on the market
It took me 19 years, took 1000 tears
Till I realized I don't belong to Georgia
