Verse 1:
There are many mountains, pastures, and trees
Lots of people and places to see
The air smells of oak, magnolia, and pine
Down by the Georgia line

The sun is shining and the river looks warm
Fishing and swimming is an everyday norm
Picture perfect from God’s own design
Down by the Georgia line

Chorus:
Down by the Georgia line
Where I can find my peace of mind
Where I was born and I was raised
When I die that’s where they’re gonna put my grave
Yes when I die that’s where they’re gonna put my grave

Verse 2:
Granny’s out picking tomatoes that are ripe
Papaw’s on the front porch smoking his pipe
We love Jesus but we like our wine
Down by the Georgia line

Potato salad, slaw, and baked beans
Fried chicken, mashed potatoes and greens
Fresh cantaloupe right off of the vine
Down by the Georgia line

Chorus

Bridge:
Can’t compare to anywhere I’ve been
Think of home and I can’t help but grin
The men are friendly and the women are fine
Down by the Georgia line

Chorus

Outro
Yes when I die guess where they’re gonna put my grave
Down by the Georgia line
