While ARS would never reach the commercial success of Lynyrd Skynyrd or the Marshall Tucker Band, the group had a strong following in the south and charted a number of hits such as "Imaginary Lover," "I'm Not Going to Let it Bother Me Tonight," "Champagne Jam," "So Into You," and a remake of a Classics IV hit, "Spooky."
The band also influenced a number of rock and country artists, notably Travis Tritt, who recorded a cover of the ARS songs, "Back Up Against the Wall" and "Homesick." The group Shudder to Think covered "So Into You."
So Into You
Atlanta Rhythm Section Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by your style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me
I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else
I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else
Thinking how it's going to be
Whenever I get you next to me
It's gonna be good
Don't you know?
From your head to your toes
Gonna love you all over, over and over
Me into you, you into me, me into you
When you walked into the room
There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by your style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me
I'm so into you
I can't get to nothing else
I am so into you, baby
I can't get to nothing else
No, no, no, come on baby
I'm so into you
Love the things you do
Listen baby, driving me crazy, oh
Love the things you do

When you walked into the room
The moment you entered the room, something felt magical
There was voodoo in the vibes
There was an unexplainable, mystical energy that surrounded you
I was captured by your style
Your unique appearance caught my attention
But I could not catch your eyes
I tried to make eye contact with you, but you seemed distant

I feel powerless and unable to do anything
Hoping you'll get into me
I desire for you to take interest in me
I am so into you

I will love every aspect of you
Gonna love you all over, over and over
