(He sings)
The sun's comin' up behind a cloud
I hope it doesn't rain.
Somewhere near I can hear the rumble of a train.
I drove all night, but that's all right,
I'll soon be feelin' fine.
I'm only 47 Miles from the Georgia line.

(She sings)
Up above the trees the birds all head for warmer weather.
They don't know the warm love glow when we get back together.
I cried all night, but that's all right,
You made it just in time.
You're only 47 miles from the Georgia line.

(Both)
We're a little bit wiser,
a little bit older.
Now we know that life without love
Is a whole lot colder.
Been a long time comin' home…
Can't wait till I get you alone.
There's only 47 miles to the Georgia line.

The sun is gone behind a cloud,
The sky is turning gray.
I've been saving all my love for this rainy day.
I'll be watchin' for you at the door
beneath the Georgia pines.
There's only 47 miles
to the Georgia line.
