mr. smith went to the city just to make the paycheck,
and did so for his whole life...
and on his deathbed, old and grey,
he wish he had made time for a wife...

he never left that town of his
to explore this land of mine...
but i'll keep my
my beautiful sunrise of georgia,
she's always on my mind...

mrs. clayton was born out in the middle of nowhere
and much to my surprise...
she just sing just like a songbird,
but nobody knew until the day of her demise...

she never ever wandered off,
and explored this land of mine...
but i'll keep my
my beautiful sunrise of georgia,
she's always by my side...

all these people have something in common
large and small...
they spent their lives in their boxes
and nobody left and they never learned anyting
at all...

they never ever wandered off
and explored this land of mine,
but i'll keep my, my beautiful sunrise of georgia
she's always by my side...
but i'll keep my beautiful sunrise of georgia
she's always on my mind...
