Drivin' Down To Georgia
Tom Petty · Other Songs - Tom Petty
Drivin' all the way
Cross country, for no reason
I woke up, I couldn't stay
I'm travelin' in an old car
Made in the USA
Hear that engine knockin'?
We've both seen better days
I'm takin' my sweet time
Day dreamin' [ ? ]
This summer down in Georgia
Girl I'll see you later on
Look at them peaches down in Georgia
Red clay peaches hangin' from a tree
(repeat)
Won't last long wintertime'll get 'em
Winter come in and get 'em hanging on a tree
Won't last long, wintertime'll get 'em
Winter sure will get 'em hanging on a tree
Well I'm goin' down to Georgia
Drivin' all the way
Cross country, for no reason
I woke up, I couldn't stay
I'm travelin' in an old car
Made in the USA
Hear that engine knockin'?
We've both seen better days
