Georgia Girl Lyrics
She moved south as a child
She moved from the Jersey shore
Said she remembers the ocean
But she don't recall much more
She lived a contagious youth
Still she swears she has no past
Said she don't take love
Cause that high, it never lasts
Welcome to her world
Welcome to the world
Of my Georgia girl
She offers up fellowship
To those that come from broken homes
Yeah, she laughs in the crowds
While her heart is all alone
(repeat x2)
Welcome to her world
Welcome to the world
Of my Georgie girl
She moved south, as a child...
She moved from the Jersey shore
Said she remembers the ocean
But she don't recall much more
Still she swears she has no past
Said she don't take love
Cause that high, it never lasts
Welcome to the world
Of my Georgia girl
To those that come from broken homes
Yeah, she laughs in the crowds
While her heart is all alone
Welcome to her world
Welcome to the world
Of my Georgie girl

She sounds like MY Georgia girl!
This is another really great song with cool riffs by Collective Soul that I think is generally about a girl he knew that moved from New Jersey to Georgia and left almost everything behind to start anew.
The reason I think that is because in the beginning he gives the locations where she came from and moved to, and then goes on to say she "lived a contagious youth" and "swears she has no past". This hints that things may have been tough in her past life up north. He then continues to show the positives of her new life saying that she "offers fellowship" and helps "those that come from broken homes" even when her heart is "all alone", as this is her world... one where she left it all behind to start fresh and help others.
This song is cool because it says that even when things were difficult in the past you can always start fresh, just like his Georgia girl did. You may still carry some emptiness in your heart from before, but you can do good and start anew.
This song makes me happy to hear a positive message that you can always leave it all behind if you need to, and still be a positive force in a better world for yourself somewhere else.
Such an awesome song!
