(carolyn dawn johnson/troy verges)

if i´m not over you by the time i get to georgia
then i guess i´ll be alabama bound
there was a time when i´d do anything for you
but this time, baby, i won´t turn around

i always wanted to get married, and i thought you were the one
but you never, ever asked me, and i was tired of hangin´ on
you know a girl can only be let down so many times before she runs
and now this little bitty town´s only got room for one of us, yeah

you always said i´d never leave, and if i did i wouldn´t go far
so i know how i must look, with my tank ´a gas and beat up heart
well baby, i´m gone for good, you can count on that
yeah, i´m gonna keep headin´ west ´til i´m too far gone to come back, yeah

and if i´m not over you by the time i get to georgia
then i guess i´ll be alabama bound
there was a time when i´d do anything for you
but this time, baby, oh i won´t turn around

i only got ten miles to go before i cross the state line
i can feel my hands shakin´
´cause they usually turn the wheel around about this time
i heard that same ol´ voice inside, i had to drown it out
so i found me a radio station playin´ something fast
and i turned it up real loud

and if i´m not over you by the time i get to georgia
then i guess i´ll be alabama bound
there was a time when i´d do anything for you
but this time, baby, oh i won´t turn around

there was a time when i´d do anything for you
but this time, baby, oh i won´t turn around
no, i won´t turn around

if i´m not over you by georgia, then i´ll head to alabama
roll on to mississippi, or maybe lou´siana
i´ll drive all the way to california
oh, i won´t turn around
no, i won´t turn around
no, i won´t turn around
no, i won´t turn around (turn around, turn around)
i won´t, i won´t turn around, (no) i won´t turn around
