Florida Georgia Line Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tinted windows down
Alabama bound
Dixieland delight
You were a summer silhouette
A Sunday cigarette
A hand me down cassette
You were a rock that
Thrown back
George Strait tee too tight
[Chorus]
Can't get you out of my head
Out of, out of my head
Out of my headphones
It's like the record stopped spinning
And you're gone again and
I'm stuck here alone
Can't get you out of my head
Out of, out of my head
Out of my headphones
I turn it up, you turn me on
It takes me back
It takes all night long
I'm the Jack without the rocks
A sun without a drop
A quarter in the slot of an unplugged jukebox joint
And I'm a Gibson missin' all of my damn strings
Can't get you out of my head
Out of, out of my head
Out of my headphones
It's like the record stopped spinning
And you're gone again and
I'm stuck here alone
Can't get you out of my head
Out of, out of my head
Out of my headphones
I turn it up, you turn me on
It takes me back
It takes all night long
Yeah it hard to admit it
Your boy is addicted
As soon as I hit it, it plays and I miss it
And now I'm tied to a train
Down memory lane
Stuck on repeat
Repeat the same old same
Can't get you out of my head
Out of, out of my head
Out of my headphones
It's like the record stopped spinning
And you're gone again and
I'm stuck here alone
Can't get you out of my head
Out of, out of my head
Out of my headphones
I turn it up, you turn me on
It takes me back
It takes all night long
Yeah it hard to admit it
Your boy is addicted
As soon as I hit it, it plays and I miss it
And now I'm tied to a train
Down memory lane
Stuck on repeat
Repeat the same old same
Can't get you out of my head, girl
Can't get you out of my head
"Headphones" by Florida Georgia Line is a song that speaks about a past love that the singer can't seem to shake off from his mind. He starts with describing how the girl was such an impressive car driver in her tinted car while heading to Alabama. He memories our defined using different objects and actions. She was like a summer silhouette and Sunday cigarette, and everywhere they went turned out to be a memory. The mentioning of George Strait shows that they shared similar taste in music, and during those late-night drives, they would turn it up all night long. The idea of missing the strings of his guitar represents the emptiness that the singer feels. The last couple of lines show that he hasn't moved on from the girl, he is addicted, and he finds himself reliving the memories over and over again.
To wrap up, this song is a mix of nostalgia and heartbreak. It talks about someone stuck in the past, trying to find a way to cope with what once was. The use of objects and places shows that it was more than just a fleeting summer fling, but a sequence of events that shaped his life.

Repeat the same old same
I keep repeating the same mistakes in hopes of seeing you again
Can't get you out of my head, girl
I can't forget about you
