Georgia on My Mind
Graham BLVD Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my mind I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind?
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
Karin, she's a silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shine
And watch her watch the morning come
A silver tear appearing now
I'm cryin', ain't I?
Gone to Carolina in my mind
There ain't no doubt in no ones mind
That love's the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
And hey babe, the sky's on fire
I'm dying, ain't I?
Gone to Carolina in my mind
In my mind I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
And, ain't it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind?
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
Dark and silent, late last night,
I think I might have heard the highway call
And geese in flight and dogs that bite
The signs that might be omens say
I'm goin', I'm goin'
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
With a holy host of others standin' around me
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me, if I'm up and gone to
Carolina in my mind
In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't is just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
Gone to Carolina in my mind
And I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
Goin' to Carolina in my mind
Gone, I'm gone, I'm gone




Say nice things about me 'cause I'm gone south now
Got to carry on without me, I'm gone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Graham BLVD's song "Georgia On My Mind" is a reflection of the singer's longing for the tranquility of North Carolina, where he can see the sunshine, feel the moonshine and watch the morning come. The first few lines show how he struggles with the reality of his current location and instead focuses on being in North Carolina in his thoughts. The lines "Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind" could be interpreted as a metaphor for a sudden, unexpected event that forces him to confront reality and realize that he's still in his current location.


The mention of Karin, who is described as a "silver sun," is possibly a symbol of the singer's desire for the bright, optimistic future that he hopes to find when he eventually goes to North Carolina. The lines "There ain't no doubt in no one's mind that love's the finest thing around. Whisper something soft and kind" could be understood as a reflection of the healing power of love and how it can help overcome any challenges in life, including the singer's current struggles.


The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is leaving his current location and asking others to say nice things about him while he's gone. It's a poignant reminder that sometimes we have to leave things behind in order to move on and find our own path in life.
