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
