[Verse 1]
The most remarkable thing about coming home to you
Is the feeling of being in motion again
It's the most extraordinary feeling in the whole world
I've got two big hands and a heart pumping blood
And a 1967 Colt .45 with a busted safety catch

[Chorus 1]
The world shines as I cross the Macon county line
Going to Georgia

[Verse 2]
The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway
Is that it's you and that you're standing in the doorway
You smile as you ease the gun from my hand
And I'm frozen with joy right where I stand

[Pre-Chorus]
The world throws its light underneath your hair
Forty miles from Atlanta, this is nowhere

[Chorus 2]
Going to Georgia

[Chorus 1]
The world shines as I cross the Macon county line
Going to Georgia
