"Georgia" - Boz Scaggs (1976)

Georgia, I swear I never seen such a smile
Gorgeous enough to make an angel's heart run wild
Your lazy eyes and small-town lies
Have got me in your spell
Your drive-in boys and back-seat noise
And oh, you learned so well
Oh, oh, oh, so how was I to know
You got me, you got me right now
Georgia, your daddy was high the night he dreamed up you
Georgia, the stars were flyin' the night that you came through
Crystal sea of lights
Oh, what a nice surprise
Oh, oh, oh, and now I miss you so
But baby, I'm comin' back to you
Georgia, we will be together, dear
If they ever let me out of here
They will say that it's not true
But I did it all for you
Georgia, won't you tell them for me dear
Georgia, girl I never lived through a night like that
Sure enough got your lovin' where I like it at
Moonlight through the pines
Oh, oh, oh, but how were we to know
That wasn't moonlight, they were searchlights, oh no
Georgia, we will be together, dear
If they ever let me out of here
They will say that it's not true
But I did it all for you
Georgia, won't you tell them for me dear
Georgia, we will be together dear (oh, my dear)
If they ever let me out of here

Don't think I've ever heard this. Interesting lyrics, though. There are several songs with themes like that. They get you wondering what exactly did happen that night.

Great choice, JP! Love this album.

Not my fave on this LP, but a pretty good song.

Lyrics: Sounds like "Double Indemnity: The Prequel"!

[KittyKat - RIP Luciano]

What a great choice! A great song off of an album that's in my top 10 faves.

Good song. A little surprised it didn't make his anthology CD, but then again, it was a great album with so many great songs. Something had to be left off.

I just listened to my vinyl copy of the album not too long ago. Great tune!

"Silk Degrees" is good album.

While listening to AM radio, this one DJ remarked that "Lowdown" was described as [glow=red,2,300]Smooth Disco[/glow]. He went on to say that's what the media were claiming (from that era) to establish Boz's material with all the hype of "Disco" inundating the (air)waves.

Anyway, "Georgia" is a great tune. I haven't heard it in a long time. Thanks for the reminder!

Never bothered to listen to this one-I should give it a try.
