Valdosta, Georgia

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Did you hear about the country girl from Valdosta, Georgia Who met the city slicker from Los Angeles? At 30,000 feet over Denver, Colorado Eating honey-roasted peanuts on an airplane headed east [Verse 2] He drank his whiskey sour and talked 90 miles an hour She sipped her Coca-Cola and nodded now and then He laughed and said, "I've never been to Valdosta, Georgia." She smiled and said, "It's lovely in the spring." He said, "What do people do down in Valdosta, Georgia? Do they live in houses, and do the kids wear shoes?" She said, "Heavens no, we all live down on the creek bank There's no indoor plumbing, and we all ride on mules." [Verse 3] He sipped his Amaretto and said, "I know something better Come go with me to New York and I'll show you the town." She said, "I really must get home to Valdosta, Georgia And put some sweet potatoes in the ground." [Chorus] "But if you'll come go with me, I'll take you to a square dance Teach you how to milk a cow and plow the bottom land We'll go to Sunday preachin', eat Mama's good fried chicken You can take me to the picture show, and I'll let you hold my hand What do you say to that, city man?" [Verse 4] Well, the old boy took the bait, the way a smallmouth takes a minnow And when they hit Chicago, he turned his ticket in She said, "There's not an airport that serves Valdosta, Georgia We'll fly into Savannah and take a buckboard in" Imagine his surprise when they landed in Valdosta And stepped off of the plane into a waiting limousine She poured him blended whiskey, and that's when he saw her picture On the cover of the Playboy magazine [Outro] She said, "Here's what people do down in Valdosta, Georgia." She kissed him on the earlobe, then kissed him on the mouth She whispered to the driver, "Keep your eyes upon the highway." Turned back to her friend and said "Welcome to the South" She was more than just a country girl from Valdosta, Georgia Who met a city slicker from Los Angeles At 30,000 feet over Denver, Colorado Eating honey-roasted peanuts on-
