Willie Nelson's Georgia On My Mind is a popular song that was originally written by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell in 1930. It gained significant popularity in 1960 when Ray Charles released his own version, which became a huge hit and eventually became the official state song of Georgia in 1979.
Willie Nelson later recorded a cover of the song in 1978, which also became a chart-topping success. The song has since become a beloved American standard and is often associated with the state of Georgia.

Georgia, Georgia,
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
I'm say Georgia
Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
I said Georgia,
Ooh Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
Georgia,
Georgia,
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
I said just an old sweet song,
Keeps Georgia on my mind
