The Moon Over Georgia

He owns a big estate just south of Savannah

And a high rise hotel in downtown Atlanta

And half the state of Georgia to his name

She'd be set for life in his colonial manor

He'd lay the world at her feet on a silver platter

But all I had to offer her was the moon

And she took the moon over Georgia

She'd rather have a million stars in the sky than a gold mine

She took the moon over Georgia

When it came down to his world or mine she took

The moon over Georgia

♪

A little country house in need of expansion

It's a far cry from his south Georgia mansion

But we've got our own paradise

Shadow dancing 'til dawn with a full moon shining

And those occasional clouds all have a silver lining

There really must be something about that old yellow light

'Cause she took the moon over Georgia

She'd rather have a million stars in the sky than a gold mine

♪

Yeah, she took the moon over Georgia

When it came down to his world or mine she took

The moon over Georgia

She took the moon over Georgia
