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 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 my tank o' gas and beat up heart Baby I'm gone for good, you can count on that I'm gonna keep heading west ?til I'm too far gone to come back Yeah And if I'm not over you, by the time I get to Georgia Then I'll be Alabama bound There was a time I'd do anything for ya But this time baby, I won't turn around I only got ten miles to go before I cross the state line I can feel my hands shaking, ?cause they usually turn the wheel around about this time I heard that same ol' voice inside, I had to drown it out So I found me a radio station playing something fast and I turned 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 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, oh I won't turn around Oh I won't turn around If I'm not over you by Georgia, then I'll head to Alabama Roll on to Mississippi, or maybe Louisiana I'll drive all the way to California I won't turn around No I won't turn around No I won't turn around No I won't turn around
