"Georgia" lyrics

She was born in Georgia
At a real unfortunate time
Her dad had been laid off at the factory
They didn't feel the need to let him know why

Her momma, she was a lost cause
She'd been that way for years
She'd take more to the alcohol
Than anybody'd care to hear

On the day she turned sixteen
She took her a job in the town
It'd been about six hard years by then
Since her daddy'd put himself down

She worked all day and she worked all night
Then she'd do it all over again
She gave more than a girl her age
Should ever have to give

So keep on working Georgia
Keep on pulling through
Keep on doing all you can
It's all that you can do'

Keep on working Georgia
Keep on being true
Keep on stacking that money up
It's all that you can do

Just keep on stacking that money up
It's all that you can do

She's got dreams of leaving this town
Making a life of her own
Away from all she's so far found
And the place her seed was sown

She's got dreams of big city lights
She's got dreams of big town nights
She's got dreams of feeling alright
And it's all coming back around

Just keep on working Georgia
Keep on pulling through
Keep on doing all you can
It's all that you can do'

Keep on working Georgia
Keep on being true
Keep on stacking that money up
It's all that you can do

Just keep on stacking that money up
It's all that you can do

Just keep on stacking that money up
It's all that you can do

Just keep on stacking that money up
It's all that you can do
