Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right."
Rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia
Look like it's rainin' all over the world
Lord, it's rainin' all over the world

Neon lights a-flashin', lots of cabs and buses passin' through the night
A distant moanin' of a train plays a very sad refrain to the night
Rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia
Look like it's rainin' all over the world
Lord, it's rainin' all over the world

How many nights I wondered
But it still works out the same
No matter how she looks at you and she knows it, darling
It's life and you just got to play the game

I find me a place in a box car, get my guitar to pass some time
Late at night I go to rest
I hold your picture to my chest and I feel fine
Rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia
Look like it's rainin' all over the world
Lord, it's rainin' all over the world
