GEORGIA RAE (John Hiatt)
------------------------

                
[intro]

                                  
  I know a girl'll mess with your mind (?)
                                       
  She'll come to you in the summer some time
                                         
  She'll talk about things you don't understand
                                  
You better stick to the matters at hand
                                        
  Before the whole damn thing unwinds

                                
  And she is beautiful, she is small
                            
  She don't wanna play basketball
                                    
  But there's no telling what she might do
                            
Before her doin' days are through
                                 
But right now she can't even crawl

                            
Georgia Rae, okay, Georgia Rae
                                         
Georgia Rae, baby what'd I say, Georgia Rae
                                
C'mon Georgia Rae

Your mother and I, we did this act
In some hotel 'bout nine months back
Now it is love that brings you here
A love that will not disappear
And Georgia honey, you can count on that

                            
Georgia Rae, okay, Georgia Rae
                                         
Georgia Rae, baby what'd I say, Georgia Rae

                             
  We were tired, should've been sleepin'
                                                        
  But like a fire, something went creepin', creepin', creeeeeepin'
                     
[instrumental]


Now your brother and sister don't understand
How your tiny feet and your tiny hands
Could carry the weight of a thousand earths
Into our little universe
Georgia, we all think it's grand

                            
Georgia Rae, okay, Georgia Rae
                                         
Georgia Rae, baby what'd I say, Georgia Rae
                            
Georgia Rae, okay, Georgia Rae
                                         
Georgia Rae, baby what'd I say, Georgia Rae
                                
C'mon Georgia Rae
                           
Aiyee-ee-eee
                                                     
Lucky for you, child, you look like your mama    Ohhh, hey...
