Walked into a motel diner
Looked around to find a place
But the room was mighty crowded
Then I saw an empty place

Sitting down across the table
Looked into a friendly face
Started up on making small talk
And then we moved into my place

Sweet lady from Georgia
Oh my, what a shame
Sweet lady from Georgia
And I didn't even know her name

Driving down the dusty highway
Didn't get her off my mind
Didn't even get her number
So we can meet another time

Sweet lady from Georgia
Oh my, what a shame
Sweet lady from Georgia
And I didn't even know her name

Sweet lady from Georgia
Oh my, what a shame
Sweet lady from Georgia
And I didn't even know her name
