lyrics

Well, since the devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said “Boy, I tell you what”
I ain’t been to Georgia, honestly it ain’t too fun
Atlanta’s got a few things left I need to resolve
But I ain’t going back to Georgia this fall

In some shop in some city there’s a gold fiddle sitting behind a pane of glass
On a shelf by some bullets and a tab that says pull it in a Billy Big Mouth Bass
Singing that same old Elvis song
Still ain’t going back to Georgia this fall

I’ve always been ashamed of the burning rain of those who believe in hell
Sorry folks it ain’t no joke I’m just thinking for myself
Not even my momma, or my papa, or my sister, or their mean old dog
could get me back to Georgia this fall

Oh my, what a surprise and, baby, how time flies, that damn demon’s on TV
Same vain fool who tucked his tail then laid that fiddle at my feet
Looks like I’m gonna have to mail it in after all
‘Cause I ain't going back to Georgia at all
