I Got Carried Away
Tyrone Davis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've been waiting for me much too long
But I got caught up in traffic
One turn I made was wrong
You see the DJ on the radio
Was playing our song
And I was reminiscing of the day
Oh, I just, baby, I got carried away
Carried away, carried away
And before I knew it
I was ten miles out of the way
My mind was filled with thoughts
Sweet thoughts of yesterday
Of a time when you took my hand
And made me feel just like a man
Of a time when you took a hold
And thrilled my very soul
Oh, I just, baby, I got carried away
Carried away, carried away
294 said the highway sign
I should be home by now, home just in time
To lay her down to sleep
And pray the Lord her soul to keep
'Cause I love her, lover her, love her
By the time I got started
In the right direction
The DJ on the radio
Was playing another selection
But our song
Was still on my mind
Memories lingered on
Of how you have been so kind
Oh, I just, baby, I, I got carried away
Carried away, carried away
Thinking about the times
When you were so good to me
Oh, I just, baby, I got carried away
Carried away, carried away
Carried away, carried away
And before I knew it
I was ten miles out of the way
And I was wondering
Would you believe me when I say
Oh, I just, baby, I got carried away
Carried away, carried away
Carried away, carried away
Carried away, carried away
Carried away, carried away
The song "I Got Carried Away" by Tyrone Davis is about a man who has stood up his partner because he got lost in thought while reminiscing about their past. The singer knows that his partner has been waiting for him for a while, but he got distracted while driving and ended up taking a wrong turn. The DJ on the radio was playing a song that reminded him of the time spent with his lover, and he was caught up in the sweet memories. The man was so carried away by his thoughts that he lost his way and ended up being around ten miles away from where he should have been.
As the chorus suggests, the singer feels guilty for being carried away by his emotions, and he knows that he has let his partner down. He remembers all the beautiful moments they shared, and those thoughts were too overpowering for him to focus on his present surroundings. The final verse of the song suggests that the singer got back on track and was headed in the right direction, but by that point, the DJ had moved on to a new song. Nonetheless, the memory of their song continued to play in his mind, and he couldn't help thinking about how kind and loving his partner has always been to him.
In summary, "I Got Carried Away" is a love song about the power of reminiscing and the dangers of being overwhelmed by emotions. It serves as a reminder that while memories are beautiful, it's essential to stay rooted in the present and not let them overshadow the love and commitment shared with your partner.

Hey girl, now I know
Having realized my mistake, I'm now trying to explain myself to you
You've been waiting for me much too long
I understand that you've been waiting patiently for me to arrive
But I got caught up in traffic
Unfortunately, I ran into a traffic jam
One turn I made was wrong
I made a wrong turn which further delayed me from getting to you
You see the DJ on the radio
While driving, I heard a song that reminded me of you
Was playing our song
The radio station played a song that we both loved
And I was reminiscing of the day
The song brought back memories of the times we spent together
That passed and gone
Those moments are now in the past
Oh, I just, baby, I got carried away
I got lost in my thoughts and emotions
And before I knew it
I didn't realize how far off course I had gotten
I was ten miles out of the way
I had ended up driving in the wrong direction for a while
My mind was filled with thoughts
I couldn't focus on anything else besides my memories with you
Sweet thoughts of yesterday
I was thinking about the happier days we shared
Of a time when you took my hand
I remember how comforting it was when you held my hand
And made me feel just like a man
Your touch made me feel strong and confident
Of a time when you took a hold
I recall the moments when you had control in our relationship
And thrilled my very soul
Those moments where you took charge thrilled me
294 said the highway sign
The sign said that I should have reached home by now
I should be home by now, home just in time
I realize that I'm running out of time and should have been home by now
To lay her down to sleep
I need to be home to put my loved one to bed
And pray the Lord her soul to keep
And pray for her safety while she rests
'Cause I love her, lover her, love her
I care deeply for my loved one and want to make sure she's okay
By the time I got started
Unfortunately, I didn't get back on track soon enough
In the right direction
I eventually got back on the right track
The DJ on the radio
However, the radio station was now playing a different song
Was playing another selection
The song that reminded me of you was done playing
But our song
Even so, I couldn't stop thinking about the song that reminded me of you
Was still on my mind
It was still fresh in my memory
Memories lingered on
All my memories with you kept flooding my mind
Of how you have been so kind
I thought about how sweet and caring you've been to me
Thinking about the times
Overall, I was just reminiscing about the good times with you
When you were so good to me
I remember how kind and loving you have been to me
And I was wondering
As I drove closer to you, I started to worry
Would you believe me when I say
I wondered if you would believe my excuse for being late
Carried away, carried away
Overall, I just got distracted and lost track of time
