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.
