Verse 1)
I left my heart somewhere down in Georgia,
Where the peaches grow and the nights get warmer.
You were standin’ in the moonlight, hair fallin’ on your shoulders,
Sayin’ if I ever leave, the world might get colder.
Now I’m drivin' in the dark with the music too loud,
Tryna drown out every memory that I’m thinkin’ about.
Every exit on the highway just reminds me of you,
Girl, I’m lost inside the places that we used to go to.
(Pre-Chorus)
All these late-night thoughts got me spiralin’,
Heart on the floor, yeah, it’s violatin’.
You were my calm when the storm was violent—
Now it’s silent… way too silent.
(Chorus)
’Cause I lost a girl in Georgia,
Now I’m haunted when I close my eyes.
She’s a ghost inside my mind,
Floatin’ through these sleepless nights.
Yeah, I lost a girl in Georgia,
Should’ve held on, should’ve read the signs.
Now I’m callin’ out to nothin’,
Hopin’ she might cross my mind one more time.
(Verse 2)
I still see you in the rear-view, smilin’ like you knew
Someday I’d break down, run right back to you.
But pride is a poison I sipped too much,
Now I’m missin’ every second when we used to touch.
You were sunshine, baby, I was rain on the way,
I just never knew the storm would take you away.
Now I’m searchin’ for your love in every sky that turns red,
But sunsets don’t hit the same without you in my head.
(Pre-Chorus)
All these late-night thoughts got me spiralin’,
Heart on the floor, yeah, it’s violatin’.
You were my calm when the storm was violent—
Now it’s silent… still so silent.
(Chorus)
’Cause I lost a girl in Georgia,
Now I’m haunted when I close my eyes.
She’s a ghost inside my mind,
Floatin’ through these sleepless nights.
Yeah, I lost a girl in Georgia,
Should’ve held on, should’ve read the signs.
Now I’m callin’ out to nothin’,
Hopin’ she might cross my mind one more time.
(Bridge)
Maybe someday I’ll run into you in Atlanta,
Maybe you’ll smile like you used to, I’ll try to understand ya.
Maybe you’ll tell me you’re fine, and I’ll pretend I’m fine too—
Even though a part of me is still dyin’ for you.
(Outro)
Georgia girl, you’re the one that got away…
And I’m still chasin’ what we had every day.
Tell the sunrise I’m sorry if it finds you alone—
I’m just a lost soul searchin’ for a home.
