Brook Benton - Rainy Night In Georgia

Hovering by my suitcase,
Trying to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain falling, seems I hear your voice calling
"It's all right"
A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it's raining all over the world
I feel like it's raining all over the world

Neon signs a-flashing, taxi cabs and buses passing through the night
A distant moaning of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the night
A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's raining all over the world
I feel like it's raining all over the world

How many times I wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
It's life and you just got to play the game

I find me a place in a box car, so I take my guitar
To pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my chest
And I feel fine
But it's a rainy night in Georgia, baby, it's a rainy night in Georgia
I feel it's raining all over the world, kinda lonely now
And it's raining all over the world

Oh, have you ever been lonely, people?
And you feel that it was raining all over this man's world
You're talking 'bout raining, raining, raining
Raining, raining, raining...
