"Died And Gone To Georgia" lyrics

Yeah, just east of Alabama
South of Carolina
There's a place that I grew up
That's always on my mind
With blackwater creeks and fat lighter stumps
Magnolia blooms down 441
And if I get to say when my time comes

I hope there's Peach State plates on every four-by
Peanut stands on the side of the road
Hayfield bugs, barbed wire, bobwhites
Spanish moss hangin' off every live oak
I hope He means it when He says He'll call me home
'Cause where I'm from, it ain't nothing short of
Heaven on Earth when they put me in the dirt
Hope it's like I've died and gone to Georgia

When I open up my eyes
I'll be knee-deep in that Flint River
With some bluegill on the line
And that's what we'd have for dinner
It'd sure look a whole lot like what I'm lookin' at now
'Cept up there, Grandpa'd still be at his house

And there'd be Peach State plates on every four-by
Peanut stands on the side of the road
Hayfield bugs, barbed wire, bobwhites
Spanish moss hangin' off every live oak
I hope He means it when He says He'll call me home
'Cause where I'm from, it ain't nothing short of
Heaven on Earth when they put me in the dirt
Hope it's like I've died and gone to Georgia

Blackwater creeks, fat lighter stumps
Pray the highway to Heaven's down 441

I hope there's Peach State plates on every four-by
Peanut stands on the side of the road
Hayfield bugs, barbed wire, bobwhites
Spanish moss hangin' off every live oak
I hope He means it when He says He'll call me home
'Cause where I'm from, it ain't nothing short of
Heaven on Earth when they put me in the dirt
Hope it's like I've died and gone to Georgia

Hope it's like I've died and gone to Georgia
Died and gone to Georgia
