Hoverin' by my suitcase tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
A heavy rain a fallin' seems I hear your voice a callin' it's all right
On this rainy night in Georgia a rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's rainin' all over the world
Neon signs a flashin' taxicabs and buses passin' through the night
The distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain onto the night
On this rainy night in Georgia such a rainy night in Georgia
I think it's rainin' all over the world
How many times I have wondered but it always comes out the same
No matter how I look at it'll think about it
It's just like some of its pleasures some of its pain
[ piano ]
I find me a place in a boxcar so I take out my guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest and then I'm all right
But it's still a rainy night in Georgia it's a rainy night in Georgia
I believe it must be rainin' all over this world all over the world rainy night in Georgia
