There's a town in Georgia that I once called mine

Just across the muddy water from the Carolina side

They say home is a place you go where they always take you in

I don't know if it's really so, but I'm going back down again

Oh Augusta take me in

Oh Augusta take me in

Savannah River from the overpass

Shining bright in the morning light like a fire in a whiskey glass

I can hear the sirens clear 'cross the water and around the bend

And I can see that it's going to be a little hard to make amends

Oh Augusta take me in

Oh Augusta take me in

'Cause I just can't seem to win

Oh Augusta take me in

Now I'm standing on the shoulder of Sand Bar Ferry Road

Staring down at the same old ground that I used to walk before

The only change is I'm a stranger now, but I remember when

There was a time when I swore I'd die before I'd ever come back again

Oh Augusta take me in

Oh Augusta take me in

'Cause I'm going back down again

Oh Augusta take me in

(Na na na, I can't win)

Oh Augusta take me in

(Going down, down again)

Oh Augusta take me in

(Cross the water and around the bend)

Take me, take me in
