Ray Charles is singing about Georgia
Ray Charles is singing about Georgia
while the rain pours down outside
I’m reading about the freedom struggle
drinking a tall glass of sweet tea
and thinking of you
traveling back to a dozen or so people
in folding chairs, listening intently to the music
I’d say “Who could have predicted?”
but even on that first night I knew
I didn’t see how it would all turn out
but if I had it would have been worth it
at least that’s how I feel now
as the radio switches to Dean Martin
and a burly woodsman with a big red beard
sings along to “Ain’t That A Kick In The Head”
while I wait for the rain to stop
