Mountain Goats - Going to Georgia lyrics

the most remarkable thing about coming home to you

is the feeling of being in motion again

it's the most extraordinary thing in the world

i have two big hands and a heart pumping blood

and a 1967 colt .45 with a busted safety catch

the world shines as i cross the macon county line

going to georgia

the most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway

is that it's you

and that you're standing in the doorway

and you smile as you ease the gun from my hand and i'm

frozen with joy right where i stand

the world throws its light underneath your hair

forty miles from atlanta, this is nowhere

going to georgia

the world shines as i cross the macon county line

going to georgia
