Johnny Clarke - It's A Rainy Night In Georgia

Yeah

I'm gonna pack my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place
To spend the night

Heavy rain is fallin'
Seems I hear your voice callin'
"It's all right"

It's a rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
All like it's rainin' all over the world
Oh, it's rainin' all over the world

Neon signs a-flashin'
Taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night
A distant moanin' om the train
Seems to play a sad refrain
But that's alright

It's a rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
All like it's rainin' all over the world
Oh, it's rainin' all over the world

How many nights I wondered
But it still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it, like to think of
Oh, it's life, you just got to play the game

So I pack my case in the box car
And get my guitar to pass some time
Every night I go to rest
I hold your picture to my chest
And I feel fine

It's a rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
Oh, it's rainin' all over the world
Oh, it's rainin' all over the world

How many nights I wondered
But it still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it, like to think of
Oh, it's life, you just got to play the game

So I pack my case in the box car
And get my guitar to pass some time
Every night I go to rest
I hold your picture to my chest
And I feel fine

It's a rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
All like it's rainin' all over the world
Oh, it's rainin' all over the world
Oh, it's rainin' all over the world
It's rainin', yeah.. oh, it's rainin'..
