Georgia Sunshine
Dean Martin · Lay Some Happiness On Me: The Reprise Years (Repri [2002]
Oh, how I miss that Georgia sunhine
Oh, how I wish that I was there
Yeah, to wake up every morning to the smell of them Georgia pines
Each blossom's blooming everywhere.
My restless young heart to be wandering
Far from that old hometown of mine
Oh, how I long every minute that I've been gone
To get myself back home to that Georgia sunshine.
I wander around town to town
Ain't many places I ain't gone
But the road I see it keeps calling me
It's the road that take this Georgia boy back home.
Oh, how I miss that Georgia sunhine
Oh, how I wish that I was there
Yeah, to wake up every morning to the smell of them Georgia pines
Each blossom's blooming everywhere.
My restless young heart to be wandering
Far from that old hometown of mine
Oh, how I long every minute that I've been gone
To get myself back home to that Georgia sunshine...
