Morgan was born in Kingston Springs, Tennessee and grew up in rural Tennessee. He became an Emergency medical technician at age 18. A few years later, he joined the Army and was stationed in South Korea. He would later see combat as part of Operation Just Cause in Panama in 1989. During his deployment in Korea, Morgan wrote a number of songs and won various military singing and songwriting contests. He is a vocal supporter of the US military, performing for service-personnel in the Middle East and elsewhere.
Upon his return home to Tennessee, he worked various jobs to support his family, including working as a construction worker, a security guard and a sheriff's deputy. He would later land a job in Nashville singing demos for other songwriters and publishing companies.
The demos led to releasing his first album with Atlantic Records, the self-titled Craig Morgan in 2000. In 2003, Morgan signed with Broken Bow Records and released his second album, I Love It. It featured the single "Almost Home", which broke into the Top 10 and earned Morgan a Songwriter Achievement Award from the Nashville Songwriters Association International.
In 2005, Morgan released his third album, My Kind of Livin', which included the smash hit "That's What I Love About Sunday." A four-week number one hit in the early spring of 2005, it was the biggest country music song of that year according to Billboard. The album also included the #2 hit "Redneck Yacht Club". Also included was "I Got You", which Craig had originally penned for Keith Urban, but decided to cut himself instead. "Little Bit Of Life", the lead-off single and title track of his fourth album, is currently climbing the charts.
Everywhere I Go
Craig Morgan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To try to get you off my mind
I turn the corner, look who's there
Just like I remember pretty as a picture
And I was just beginning not to care
Standing in the rain I stopped to stare
[Chorus]
In the dark of night, in the light of day
I can't run and I can't hide
There just ain't no place
Cause everywhere I go, you're goin' my way
Sittin' at the table
I sense you behind me
Even though I know you're not really here
Climbin' into bed you slide in beside me
I feel my eyes well up in tears
Oh I can't make your memory disappear
[Chorus]
I can learn to live without you
I wouldn't even dream about you
If you'd only set me free
[Chorus]
Everywhere I go
I walk around the block
To try to get you off my mind
The lyrics of Craig Morgan's song "Everywhere I Go" are about an individual who is struggling to move on from a past relationship. No matter where they go or what they do, they cannot seem to escape the memories of their former partner. The song opens with the singer stating that they walked around the block trying to forget about their ex-lover. However, they turn the corner and see their former partner just like they remember them, and the feeling of affection towards them grows stronger. While standing in the rain, they are unable to take their eyes off them, which shows that they are still in love with them.
In the second verse, the singer is sitting at the table and can still sense their former partner's presence, even though they know they are not really there. The feeling of emotional attachment gets stronger when they climb into bed and imagine their partner sliding in beside them. The lyrics show how the memories of the past are strong enough to make the singer cry, and they feel like they can never make those memories disappear.
The chorus repeats the phrase "everywhere I go, you're going my way," showcasing how the memories of the past relationship are with them no matter where they are or what they do. This line gives a sense of hopelessness, as it seems impossible for the singer to move on from their past love. The last line of the song repeats the opening line of the song, emphasizing that the singer is still trying to get their ex-lover off their mind.

I walk around the block
I walk aimlessly to forget about you
To try to get you off my mind
To try to stop thinking about you
I turn the corner, look who's there
I unexpectedly see you
Just like I remember pretty as a picture
You look as beautiful as I remember
And I was just beginning not to care
I was starting to forget about you
Standing in the rain I stopped to stare
I admire you even in the midst of rain
[Chorus]
Everywhere I go, you're always in my thoughts
Cause everywhere I go, you're goin' my way
Wherever I go, you seem to follow
In the dark of night, in the light of day
I can't escape thoughts of you whether it's day or night
I can't run and I can't hide
I can't avoid thinking about you
There just ain't no place
Everywhere I go, you're there
Sittin' at the table
I'm sitting alone
I sense you behind me
I feel like you're watching me
Even though I know you're not really here
Even though you're not physically present
Climbin' into bed you slide in beside me
I imagine you lying beside me in bed
I feel my eyes well up in tears
I feel sad and emotional
Oh I can't make your memory disappear
I can't forget about you
[Chorus]
Everywhere I go, you remain in my mind
I can learn to live without you
I can adjust to life without you
I wouldn't even dream about you
I don't even want to think about you
If you'd only set me free
If you'll let me go
[Chorus]
No matter where I go, thoughts of you persist
Everywhere I go
Wherever I go
I walk around the block
I wander aimlessly to forget about you
To try to get you off my mind
To let go of thoughts about you
