'
im walking back to Georgia
and i hope she will take me back
nothing in my pockets
and all i own in upon my back
but shez the girl who said shed love me
on that hot dusty Macon road
and if shes still around im gonna settle down
with that hard lovin Georgia girl
im walking back to Georgia
shez the only on who knows
how it feels when you lose a dream
and how it feels when you dream alone
but shez the girl who said shed love me
on that hot dusty Macon road
and if shez still around im gonna settle down
with that hard-lovin Georgia girl
Georgia can you hear me callin?
oh ill be home in just a while
and if i had to id be crawlin
just to share another mornin smile
youre the girl who said you love me
on that dusty long ago
and if youre still around im gonna settle down
with you my hard-lovin Georgia girl
Because im walkin back to Georgia
and I hope she will take me back
nothing in my pockets
and all i own is upon my back
but shez the girl who said shed love me
on that hot dusty Macon road
and if shez still around im gonna settle down
with that a-hard-lovin Georgia girl

The speaker has lost his chance. Long ago, there was love. But he left her to try for something else.
Now he is expecting her to be exactly in the same place, just waiting for him! Its not fair, his model of her is so simplified that it doesnt account for the needs of her life!
Everybody knows what it is like to dream alone. But this girl was left alone because this guy chose to leave. Now he knows what it feels like and he expects her to sympathize?
This song is about desperation and regret. Should have committed maybe
