He owns a big estate
Just south of Savannah
And a high rise hotel in downtown Atlanta
And half the state of Georgia to his name
She'd be set for life
In his colonial manor
He'd lay the world at her feet on a silver platter
But all I had to offer her was the moon
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 a far cry from his south Georgia mansion
But we've got our own paradise
Shadow dancin' 'til dawn
With a full moon shinin'
And those occasional clouds all have a silver linin'
There really must be somethin' 'bout that old yellow light
She took the moon over Georgia
