Rainy Night in Georgia
Embracing Solace Amidst Rain: A Melancholic Night Tale
Lyrics
Hoverin' by my suitcase
Feeling unsettled, near luggage, seeking shelter
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Searching for a warm place to spend the night
A heavy rain a fallin'
Intense rain is falling
Seems I hear your voice callin'
Hearing a voice (possibly in memory) reassuring that everything is fine
"It's all right"
Reassurance that the situation is okay
A rainy night in Georgia
Describing the setting: a rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
Reiteration of the rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's rainin' all over the world
Belief that it's raining all over the world
Neon signs a flashin'
Urban imagery: neon signs, taxi cabs, and buses
Taxi cabs and busses passin' through the night
Continuation of urban scenes at night
The distant moanin' of a train
Train sounds in the distance, contributing to a melancholic atmosphere
Seems to play a sad refrain to the night
The train's distant moan playing a sad tune to the night
A rainy night in Georgia
Restating the rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
Reiteration of the scene
I believe it's rainin' all over the world
Belief that the rain is a global phenomenon
How many times I've wondered
Reflecting on a recurring theme or situation
It still comes out the same
Regardless of perspective, the outcome remains the same
No matter how you look at it, think of it
Emphasis on individuality and personal choices
You just got to do your own thing
Encouragement to be true to oneself
I find me a place in a box car
Finding shelter in a boxcar, engaging in a musical activity
So I take out my guitar to pass some time
Using a guitar to pass the time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
Difficulty in resting during late hours
I hold your picture to my chest
Seeking comfort in holding a picture close
And I'm all right
Feeling emotionally reassured
A rainy night in Georgia
Repeating the description of a rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
Reiteration of the setting
I believe it's rainin' all over the world
Belief that the rain is a global phenomenon
