[Verse 1]
Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps that Georgia on my mind, oh

[Verse 2]
I said Georgia, Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines

[Chorus]
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

[Verse 3]
I said Georgia
Ooh, Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

[Chorus]
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

[Verse 4]
I said now Georgia, Georgia
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

[Outro]
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Annie Lennox is an award-winning singer, songwriter and activist who has sold over 80 million records worldwide between her solo work and the duo Eurythmics. At seventeen, Lennox won a scholarship to London’s Royal Academy of Music to become a flutist, but dropped out after feeling that classical music was “far too competitive” and “didn’t fit my kind of personality”.

While working as a waitress at a health food restaurant in London, Lennox met Dave Stewart, with whom she formed the band Catch with singer-songwriter Peet Coombes. Catch released one single before adding two more members and changing their name to The Tourists. Under that name, the band scored five UK hits before Coombes' substance abuse broke the band apart.

Lennox and Stewart continued writing together – with Stewart moving from guitar to synthesizer and Lennox adopting an androgynous look – and formed Eurythmics. Within a few years, the duo was propelled into international stardom when “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”, a single from their second album, became a top ten hit in nine countries.
