Lyrics:
When I think of Georgia, I think of you
high as a kite in the second pew
you were my best friend, the light of my youth
And the only one back then
That knew the whole truth

Cause if I told my mom
She would scream at the top of her lungs
Saying I don't belong
Oh I don't belong, I sure hope she's wrong

I wanted to be honest, I wanted to be brave
But if grandmother knew she would roll her grave
Yeah, my father would scream yeah he'd scream out in rage
He did not want a daughter whose soul wasn't saved

He thought if I told the world
They would not see as the same girl
They'd say I don't belong
I don't belong, but that's where he's wrong

There is a place past the Georgia pines
With people who welcome you with an open mind
They say it'll take, it'll just take some time
'Til love it belongs to all of humankind

Cause I told the world
And they still saw me as the same girl
They listened to my songs
And made me feel like i belong
Yeah they made me feel like i belong
Oh Georgia, you were wrong
