Maybe I should take that picture off the dashboard
Before her memory hits the brakes and takes the wheel
I bet she's still crying on the front porch
Yeah, this time it's gonna take some time to heal

'Cause I'm on my way to Tennessee
Singing Georgia On my mind
Chasing what they says a dream
Thinking maybe it ain't mine
'Cause that girl's in every song I sing
She's in every song I write
And six string ridin' in her seat
Won't keep me warm tonight
God what am I suppose to do
There's more than miles in my rear view

Well, I'm headed north to what I swore I wanted
And trying not to buy into my doubts
But I just cant seem to keep myself from wondering
Why I'm jealous of all them headlights headed south

'Cause I'm on my way to Tennessee
Singing Georgia On my mind
Chasing what they says a dream
Thinking maybe it ain't mine
'Cause that girl's in every song I sing
She's in every song I write
And six string ridin' in her seat
Won't keep me warm tonight
God what am I suppose to do, yeah
There's still more than miles in my rear view

Yeah, more than miles
Yeah, I've been changing lanes without my mirrors
'Cause every time I look behind me I see her
I think I just realized how much I need her (damn)

So I'm turning back to Georgia
Stopping short of Tennessee
I can't put my dreams before her
Man I need her here with me
'Cause that girl's in every song I sing
She's every song I write
And that six string ridin' in her seat
Can sleep in back tonight
Now I know what I'm suppose to do, yeah
There's still more than miles in my rear view

More than miles, yeah

More than miles

    My Interpretation

    I think this song is about a guy who leaves his girlfriend to go chase his dream. He leaves her crying in their small little town because he chose his dream over him. But once he leaves he realizes her dreams are driven by her, she inspires him and his dreams aren't anything without her by his side.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
