Sittin' here thinkin' Damn, I'm getting a little older Tryin' to find some piece of mind Take the weight of the world off my shoulder (Mmm) Got me drivin' down the highway Tryin' to make it thru each and everyday (Everyday) Take the block and all poverty Take a truck and move my people down south with me Trade my ball and chain in for a ticket On a one way trip into Georgia Big smiles, apple pies My people, and blue skies Tomatoes grow where I can pick 'em On an open highway through Georgia Green grass, tear stains Shadow dancin' in the pourin' rain Sittin' here lookin' in the mirror Damn it's gettin' a little clearer If I could paint a perfect picture Would you dare take it with ya (Take it with ya, take it with ya) Picture us whistlin' while fishin' Picture us dancin' while romancin' To a tune the belongs to me and you My ball and chain we will all be free Trade my ball and chain in for a ticket On a one way trip into Georgia Big smiles, apple pies My people, and blue skies Tomatoes grow where I can pick 'em On an open highway through Georgia Green grass, tear stains Shadow dancin' in the pourin' rain We can be dancin', steady romancin' Whistlin' while we steady fishin' (Steady fishin') Trade my ball and chain in for a ticket On a one way trip into Georgia Big smiles, apple pies My people, and blue skies Tomatoes grow where I can pick 'em On an open highway through Georgia Green grass, tear stains Shadow dancin' in the pourin' rain
