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.
