Hoverin' by my suitcase, 
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
 
A Heavy rain fallin', 
Seems I hear your voice callin'
"It's all right"
 
A rainy night in Georgia, 
A rainy night in Georgia
 
It seems like it's rainin' all over the world
 
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
 
 
Neon signs a-flashin', 
Taxi cabs and buses passin'
Through the night
 
A distant moanin' of a train 
Sems to play a sad refrain to the night
 
A rainy night in Georgia,
Such a rainy night in Georgia
 
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world
 
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
 
 
How many times I wondered
 
It still comes out the same
 
No matter how you look at it 
Or think of it
 
It's life and you just got to play the game
 
 
(instrumental interlude)
 
 
I find me a place in a box car,
So I take my guitar to pass some time
 
Late at night when it's hard to rest
 I hold your picture to my chest 
And I feel fine
 
But it's a rainy night in Georgia, baby, 
It's a rainy night in Georgia 
 
I feel it's rainin' all over the world,
Kinda lonely now 
And it's rainin' all over the world
 
 
Oh, have you ever been lonely, people?
 
And you feel that it was rainin' all over this man's world
 
You're talking 'bout rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin',
 
rainin', rainin' rainin', rainin', rainin' (etc. to end)
