Bare feet hangin' off a tire swing
Cotton dress barely hangin' on to me
Settin' sun coolin' down the August heat

Sweet magnolia in the air

Lazy old river just floatin' by

That boy was givin' me the eye
River bank wasn't quite dry
Standin' at the water's edge sayin', "Girl come over here"


I felt it movin' underneath my toes
Soakin' in all over my clothes

We were laughin' when he pulled me close
And my heart went "thump thump thump"
He had a little bit on his lips

When he gave me that first kiss
But it was perfect just the way it was
Back then, me and him, big grins, covered in

That Georgia mud

I think it took a good two days

To wash all that dirt away
Another two years to forget his face
Love faded like it will, but every now and then, I still


Feel it movin' underneath my toes
Soakin' in all over my clothes

We were laughin' when he pulled me close
And my heart went "thump thump thump"
He had a little bit on his lips

When he gave me that first kiss
But it was perfect just the way it was
Back then, me and him, big grins, covered in

That Georgia mud

Oh, yeah


I felt it movin' underneath my toes
Soakin' in all over my clothes

Well, it was hard to take it slow
When my heart went "thump thump thump"
He had a little bit on his lips

I gotta say I didn't mind a bit
It was perfect just the way it was
Back then, me and him, big grins


Back then, me and him, big grins, covered in
That Georgia mud


That Georgia mud
Oh, yeah
