Alabama - Burn Georgia Burn lyrics

[Verse 1] Atlanta was on fire and so was she the night he left her Left her there to bear her pain alone Hoping soon to return, burn, Georgia, burn The roaring of the guns filled the emptiness inside her Where once she felt the pounding of her heart When he held her in his arms, tenderness they learned Burn, Georgia, burn [Chorus] He was the body, she was the soul Of a love affair they couldn't control While the world was falling down around them They were not concerned, burn, Georgia, burn [Verse 2] Winter brought the snow and a rider down from Franklin With news of how the war had taken toll And he would not return, burn, Georgia, burn [Chorus] [Verse 3] While strolling through her mind She stumbled on an old, familiar feeling Of how he touched her many years ago And how he made her yearn, burn, Georgia, burn [Chorus]
