he owns a big estate

just south of savannah

and a high rise hotel in down-town atlanta

add half the state of georgia to his name

she'd be set for life in his coloniel manner

he laid the world at her feet on a silver platter

but all i had to offer her, was the moon



-ChOrUs-



*and she took the moon over georgia

she'd rather have a million stars in the sky

than a gold mine

she took the moon over geogia

when it came down to his world or mine

she took the moon over georgia



-a little country house in need of expansion

it's far cry from his south georgia mansion

but we've got our own paradise.

shadows dancin' til down with a full moon shinin'

and those occasional clouds all have a silver lining

there really must be something about, that old yellow light



Chorus*till end
