A melodic, melancholy tune
Story behind the song

Lyrics
I remember Georgia
The sound of that old screen door
Red dirt and magnolia
Daddy leaving to go to war
The sound of mama crying
When that yellow cab drove up
She wailed like she was dying
Shards from her coffee cup
Life has its lonesome valleys
There are good days and bad
Forty-four years I’ve spent wandering
Between happy and sad
I remember Georgia
Daddy’s smile and his favorite chair
The pain and passing euphoria
The smell of pine in the air
Yes, I remember Georgia
