if i'm not over you by the time i get to georgia

then i guess i'll be alabama bound

there was a time when i'd do anything for ya

but this time baby i won't turn around

yeah

i always wanted to get married

and i thought you were the one

but you never ever asked me

and i was tired of hanging on

you know a girl can only be let down

so many times before she runs

and now this little bitty town's only got room for one of us

you always said i'd never leave

and if i did i wouldn't go far

so i know how i must look

with tank of gas and beat up heart

well baby i'm gone for good

you can count on that

yeah i'm gonna keep headin west

till i'm too far gone to come back

and if i'm not over you

by the time i get to georgia

then i'll be alabama bound

there was a time when i'd do anything for ya

but this time baby i won't turn around

only got 10 miles to go

before i cross the state line

i can feel my hands shakin

cause they usually turn the wheel around about this time

i heard that same old voice inside

i had to drown it out

so i found me a radio station playin somethin fast

and turn it up real loud

and if i'm not over you by the time i get to georgia

then i'll be alabama bound

there was a time when i'd do anything for ya

but this time baby i won't turn around

there was a time when i'd do anything for ya

but this time baby i won't turn around

no i won't turn around

if i'm not over you by georgia

then i'll head to alabama

roll onto mississippi

and maybe louisianna

i'll drive all the way to california

oh i won't turn around

no i won't turn around

no i won't turn around

no i won't turn around.....
