Lyrics

Words and music by tim lewis and roger murrah

Atlanta was on fire and so was she the night he left her
Left her there to bear her pain alone, hoping soon to return
Burn, georgia, burn

The roaring of th guns filled the emptiness inside her where once she felt
The pounding of her heart
When he held her in his arms, tenderness they learned
Burn, georgia, burn

He was the body, she was the soul of a love affair the couldn't control
While the world was falling down around them, they were not concerned
Burn, georgia, burn

Winter brought the snow and a rider down from franklin with news of how the
War had taken toll and he would not return
Burn, georgia, burn

He was the body, she was the soul of a love affair they couldn't control
While her world crumbled all around her, she was not concerned
Burn, georgia, burn

While strolling through her mind she stumbled on an old, familiar feeling of
How he touched her many years ago and how he made her yearn
Burn, georgia, burn
