Burn Georgia Burn

Of a love affair they couldn't control
Burn, Georgia, burn
While the world was falling down around them
Of a love affair they couldn't control
Hoping soon to return, burn, Georgia, burn
Of how he touched her many years ago

And he would not return, burn, Georgia, burn
They were not concerned, burn, Georgia, burn
Where once she felt the pounding of her heart

She stumbled on an old, familiar feeling
They were not concerned, burn, Georgia, burn
Winter brought the snow and a rider down from Franklin
When he held her in his arms, tenderness they learned

With news of how the war had taken toll
He was the body, she was the soul
The roaring of the guns filled the emptiness inside her
He was the body, she was the soul

While her world was falling down around them
While strolling through her mind
