Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place
To spend the night

Heavy rain a-fallin'
Seems I hear your voice callin'
It's all right

A rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's rainin' all over the world

Neon signs a-flashin'
Taxicabs and buses
Passin' through the night

The distant moanin' of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain
To the night

A rainy night in Georgia
It's such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world

How many times I've wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
You just got to do your own thing
I find me a place in a boxcar
So I take out my guitar
To pass some time

Late at night, when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest
And I'm all right

A rainy night in Georgia
Lord, it's such a rainy night in Georgia
It's rainin' all over the world
