lyrics

By the time I got to Georgia
Well my money was all gone
And you were waiting by the station
Wondering what went wrong
And I was sorry I never told you
That I had loved you all along
But by the time we got to Georgia
You were already gone

When I was restless and abandoned
Like those all night drives at dawn
Well you were right there, right there beside me
From D.C. to St. John
And I was sorry you never told me
You never loved me anyway
But by the time we got to Georgia
I didn't know what to say

And this highway is gonna end
And I will miss you beside me
If you change your mind again
Well you know where to find me
You know where you can find me

Just remember Arizona
When we were flat out and alone
And we were driving
Playing Springsteen
For 89 songs in a row

And I was sorry I never told you that I had loved you all along
But by the time we got to Georgia
You were already gone
Yeah by the time you got to Georgia
You were already gone
You were already gone
