Georgiana Starlington

from Ticket to Fly by Mike Lawson & Friends

about

While relentlessly touring through the south, often through Alabama on I-65, Lawson would see the exit for the cities of Starlington, and Georgiana. The exit said "Georgiana Starlington" and he thought it sounded like the name of a woman. The signature slide part of the song was played by master songwriting and guitarist, Dennis Robbins, the man who bought Mike his first Les Paul

lyrics

Georgiana Starlington, you can't take my love and run
I got something more to say, don't just turn and walk away
If there's one thing left that's true, I'm in crazy love with you
Now you got to be that one, Georgiana Starlington

I can be the trying kind, trouble always finds my time
I know that you deserve the best but I can't like all the rest
Don't you walk on me tonight, I know we can make it right
If there's one thing left that's true, I'm in crazy love with you

Georgiana Starlington, you can't take my love and run
I got something more to say, don't just turn and walk away
If there's one thing left that's true, I'm in crazy love with you
Now you got to be that one, Georgiana Starlington

We could use some time away but I got all these bills to pay
I know sometimes you feel alone, even when I'm there at home
I've been working night and day, sometimes I forget to say
If there's one thing left that's true, I'm in crazy love with you

Georgiana Starlington, you can't take my love and run
I got something more to say, don't just turn and walk away
If there's one thing left that's true, I'm in crazy love with you
Now you got to be that one, Georgiana Starlington
