Lyrics
Atlanta was on fire, so she the night he left her
Left her there to bear her pain alone
Hoping soon to return
Burn, Georgia, burn
Roaring of the 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 a body, she was a soul
Of a love affair, they couldn’t control
While the world was falling down around them
They were not concerned
Burn, Georgia, burn
Winter brought the snow
And the rider down from Franklin
With news of how the war had take control
And he would not return
Burn, Georgia, burn
He was a body and she was a soul
Of a love affair, they couldn’t control
While her world, crumble down downtown
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 burn
Burn, Georgia, burn
