Shenandoah - Moon Over Georgia lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 She'd be set for life in his colonial manor He laid the world at her feet on a silver platter But all I had to offer her was the moon [Chorus] And 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 over Georgia [Verse 2] A little country house in need of expansion It's a far cry from his south Georgia mansion But we've got our own paradise Shadows dancin' 'til dawn with a full moon shinin' And those occasional clouds all have a silver linin' There really must be something about that old yellow light [Chorus] She took the moon over Georgia She'd rather have a million stars in the sky than a gold mine Yeah she took the moon over Georgia When it came down to his world or mine She took the moon over Georgia She took the moon over Georgia
