Tony Joe White - Rainy Night in Georgia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAY7HhWpy_4

Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right."
A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world

Neon signs a-flashin', taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night
A distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the night
A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world

How many times I wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
It's life and you just got to play the game

I find me a place in a box car, so I take my guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my chest and
I feel fine
But it's a rainy night in Georgia, baby, it's a rainy night
In Georgia I Feel it's rainin' all over the world, kinda lonely now
And it's rainin'All over theWorld

Oh, have you ever been lonely, people?
And you feel that it was rainin' all over this man's world
You're talking 'bout rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin',
Rainin', rainin',
Rainin', rainin' rainin', rainin', rainin'

2. Wow- Tony is the original author of the song.
My favorite version is Conway Twitty and Sam Moore's.
