On the way home you stopped at Sadie's Bar
A water hole down the road, not far
She said, "Hey, buy me a drink" ..and then winked her left eye
You leaned down and said." Hello"
Askin'," how'd your day go?"
And she said, "It ain't done yet, maybe you can make it fly"
She wore black knee boots, and a low cut blouse
The hottest lady in the house
The kind of babe who would'a made Abe Lincoln a slave
The jukebox played, and you danced some
You just loved the way she chewed her gum,
When your bodies touched you could feel the heat she gave

That's the night the lights went out with Georgia,
That's the night Georgia made you a satisfied man
Yeah, that's the night that the lights went out with Georgia
She gave you a ride like no buckin' bronco can..

But soon the cards are a' tumblin' down
Cuz' that's how it is livin' in a small town
So when your wife calls the bar the next day, you receive the first hit
And then her web of gossip crews
Tip your tub and cook up your goose
You could 'a had OJ's Big dream team, and they wouldn't'a-quit

Tried, convicted, all same day
When you're caught with red hands, stay right in the fray,
Just roll with the punch..hang on to the ground that shakes..
Flip a steady lip, fib and lie, deny..
Dry up the tears in your woman's eye
Even tho' you hate the sound your own voice makes..

Wives like to believe, tho' they know the truth
So plant a doubt seed 'bout your deed, uncouth
Well up tears in your eyeballs, and swear face to face,"Didn't do it!"
If you feel some guilt and your mind's in a bind
That's when your body really needs to unwind.
So, while she's sleepin' leave the house, meet sweet Georgia, go to it..

'Nother night the lights went out with Georgia,
One more night Georgia made you a satisfied man
Yeah, 'nother night the lights went out with Georgia,
She gave you a ride like no buckin' bronco can..

On the edge of town, at this small motel,
A "Half-sleeze" place they call, "Blue Bell"
You've paid the squirrely clerk his fifty cash..
Later, comes a sound, and your hearing's keen
There at the bedside, stands your dear wife, Irene
You scream out the words, "Oh, God, No!" just before the flash..

That's the night the lights went out with Georgia
That's the night Georgia made you a satisfied man
Yeah, that's the night the lights went out with Georgia
But your wife's shotgun was not part of the plan..

That's the night the lights went out with Georgia
That's the night Georgia made you a satisfied man
Yeah, that's the night the lights went out with Georgia
But your wife's shotgun was not part of the plan..
