> I was down in Atlanta, Georgia,
So far away from home,
I woke up missin' my baby
And feelin' so alone.
And only time can change my mind
From feelin' sad and blue
Longing, longing for you.
Got to find myself a song to sing,
Waiting for the days to bring me
Closer to my home sweet home,
Closer to the love I know.
I feel the sunshine on my face,
The smile I love, the warm embrace,
Longing, longing for you.
I've got a girl, she's so fine,
She's in Georgia on my mind.
I'm thinkin' 'bout her all the time
And feelin' so alone.
I'm thinkin' 'bout when I come home to her,
And to know I won't be
Longing, longing anymore. No I won't be
Longing, longing anymore. No I won't be
Longing, longing anymore.
