Moon Over Georgia (1991)
He owns a big estate just south of Savannah
And a high rise hotel in down-town Atlanta
Add half the state of Georgia to his name
She'd be set for life in his colonial manner
He laid the world at her feet on a silver platter
But all I had to offer her, was the moon

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

A little country house in need of expansion
It's far cry from his South Georgia mansion
But we've got our own paradise
Shadows dancing till down with a full moon shining
And those occasional clouds all have a silver lining
There really must be something about, that old yellow light

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
She took the moon over Georgia
