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.
[...]
And 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 dancing till dawn
With a full moon shining
And those occasional clouds
All have a silver lining
There really must be something about
That old yellow light
'Cause 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.
She took the moon over Georgia
