Rainy Night In Georgia
Conway Twitty · Thirty-Six All-Time Greatest [2004]
(Conway)
Hovering by my suitcase, tryin' to find
A warm place to spend the night
Heavy raindrops falling,
seems I hear your voice callin' It's all right.
It's a rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's raining all over the world
I feel like it's raining all over the world.
(Sam)
Neon signs a flashing, taxicabs and buses
Passing thru the night
A distant moan of a train, seems to play a sad refrain
To the night.
A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's raining all over the world
I feel like it's raining all over the world.
(Conway)
How many times I've wonder
And it still comes out the same.
(Sam)
No matter how you look at it or think of it
You see it's life and we just got to play the game.
(Conway)
Find me a place in the boxcar,
I take my guitar to pass some time.
(Sam)
Late at night when it's hard to rest,
I hold your little picture to my chest
And you know what I feel fine.
(Conway)
It's a rainy night in Georgia,
(Sam)
A rainy night in Georgia.
(Conway)
Lord, I believe it's raining all over the world.
(Sam)
I feel like it's raining all over the world.
(Conway)
Aw Sam, I think it's still raining out there.
(Sam)
Raining all over all over the world, Conway Twitty.
(Conway)
You know I kinda like it when it rains like that.
(Sam)
Yeah, like that.
(Conway)
Brings back some memories from a long time ago.
Remember how the rain used to sound?
(Sam)
It just makes you wanna,
You know some times just sit back
And go la da la da da da da.
(Conway)
Yeah, it makes me want to but I can't, Sam.
(Sam)
Oh, come on you can do it try, try, try.
(Conway)
But I can tell you this I remember how
That rain used to sound on that tin roof back home.
(Sam)
Yeah, do that deep thing I like to hear you do.
(Conway)
Awwww, that's it, that's the one right there.
(Sam)
Ah, huh.
(Conway)
Oh, Brook Benton, where are you son?
(Sam)
It's rainin', rainin', rainin'.
(Conway)
Sam, I think I'm getting wet.
(Sam)
All over the world, whew...
