Down in Macon Georgia there`s a woman waitin` for my six foot frame
I got her picture in my mind as I head down the turnpike out of main
I`d better think of something else or I might stick my rifle through the floor
I`ll go through hell and half of Georgia till I hold her in my arms once more
Now I don`t mean no disrespect to the states I travel through all the time
I just get awful anxious till I put myself back on that Georgia line
Roadsigns they all look the same until I see those Macon City lights
I been through hell and half of Georgia but she`ll make it worth my life tonight
[ guitar ]
I coast down through grapevine a glass of it they call a load of wine
I know I oughta sleep some but baby`s hot and heavy on my mind
Don`t need no help to get me back and I won`t lose no time along the way
That old Jimmy understands that if we`re runnin` late there`ll be the devil to pay
Took on the fuel in Nashville and Chattanooga`s what the last sign said
My hardest drivin`s over and the half of Georgia`s lyin` straight ahead
I`ve breezed straight to Atlanta and only have a few more miles to go
I`ve gone through hell and half of Georgia now I can count the minutes till I`m home
Ah look at all them pretty Macon City lights
And I`m thinkin` about that pretty Macon chicks whose gonna make my night tonight
And the second thing I`m gonna do is shut off my rig easy big guy
