Moon Over Georgia

He owns a big estate just south of Savannah
And a high-rise hotel in downtown Atlanta
Add half the state of Georgia to his name
And I'd be set for life in his colonial manor
Lay the world at my feet on a silver platter
But all you had to offer me was the moon
I want that moon over Georgia
I'd rather have a million stars in the sky than a gold mine
Give me that the moon over Georgia
It didn't take me too long to decide I want
That moon over Georgia
A little country house in need of expansion
It's a far cry from his south Georgia mansion
We've got our own paradise
Shadow dancin' 'til dawn with a full moon shinin'
Those occasional clouds all have a silver linin'
There really must be something 'bout that old yellow light
'Cause 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 Georgia
When it came down to his world or mine
She took the moon (The moon) over Georgia
She took the moon (The moon) over Georgia
Mm
