Lyrics
Georgia on My Mind Melodies bring memories That linger in my heart Make me think of Georgia Why did we ever part? Some sweet day when blossoms fall And all the world's a song I'll go back to Georgia 'Cause that's where I belong. Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind. Georgia, Georgia, a song of you Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines. Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you. Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.

Oh yeah, this is sweet! I didn't see this track posted but Al's comments caught my eye. Very nice riffing with the melody and cool guitar effects on a classic tune. A very cool blending of blues and jazz elements. Awesome Maestro!

Had to hear this cover. This is a guitar clinic. Piano sounds so good also. Well not sure what else to say. I just put my guitar down and will leave it to the adult in the room.
