GOIN’ DOWN TO GEORGIA
BEFORE THE DEVIL BRINGS THE RAIN

There was a time I loved you
I took it as a fact
Now the smoke is clearing
And I can’t react

I’m watching strangers’ faces
From the window of a train
I’m going down to Georgia
‘fore the devil brings the rain

They say faith moves mountains
Across the barren waste
So I look for a fountain
Where I can get a taste

But can what’s lost
Ever be regained
‘fore I go down to Georgia
And the devil brings the rain

I’m walking through the city
The city of tombs
Down a blank boulevard
In the city of ruins

Been alone such a long time
I barely know my own name
And I’m goin’ down to Georgia
‘fore the devil brings the rain

There’s beauty in the dawning
Of a summer day
There’s beauty in your face
When you look at me that way

I loved you such a long time
You only bring me pain
And I’m goin’ down to Georgia
‘fore the devil brings the rain
