Trees were flying by me fast
And I gazed at the sky
Driving south on highway one
And you were by my side
I didn't know a whole lot then
About the reasons why
But everything was clear
When I saw that flame in your eyes
We had a special place out in the woods
Where we would go
Underneath the stars and the trees
What a show
That summer burned white hot
And the flames they went high
On the banks of the river
You and I
Georgia was burnin'
And my heart was yearning just for you
Georgia was burnin'
Yes its true
Someone told me
That the woods had caught on fire
And we rode around there in your car
I could see the flames reflecting off the tears in your eyes
As we watched our hideaway burning down
I guess we lost more than a few trees
Or just a place to go
It seems that our love blew away
With the ashes and the smoke
I don't know what happened to us
And I can't say why
By the time that autumn came
The flame was gone from your eyes
Georgia was burnin'
And my heart was yearning just for you
Georgia was burnin'
Yes its true
Georgia was burnin'
And my heart was yearning just for you
Georgia was burnin'
Yes its true
Yeeeaaahhh!
