Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I rode around long enough
With my windows down
Let that breeze roll in, carry your perfume out
I took your number and messages off my phone
Oh, but you ain't gone

[Chorus]
Wish I could close my eyes and not have to see you smiling
Yeah, yeah, can't get you outta my head
You're dancing all around it, girl you got me surrounded
Yeah, yeah, can't get you outta my head
I got you off of these walls, I got you outta my bed
But girl I'm no better off, can't get you outta my head

[Verse 2]
It's like your memory, has got a map of my mind
No matter where I go, you find me every time
Alone or in a crowd, I hear you whispering baby
It's driving me crazy

[Chorus]
Wish I could close my eyes and not have to see you smiling
Yeah, yeah, can't get you outta my head
You're dancing all around it, girl you got me surrounded
Yeah, yeah, can't get you outta my head
I got you off of these walls, I got you outta my bed
But girl I'm no better off, can't get you outta my head
[Bridge]
Damn, you're hard to forget
Oh, oh

[Chorus]
Yeah, wish I could close my eyes and not have to see you smiling
Yeah, yeah, can't get you outta my head
You're dancing all around it, girl, you got me surrounded
Yeah, yeah, can't get you outta my head
I got you off of these walls, I got you outta my bed
But girl I'm no better off, can't get you outta my head
You're nowhere close to being gone outta my head
Mmm, outta my head

[Outro]
You ain't gone
Outta my head
Girl, outta my head
Oh, you ain't goneEmbed

Are you looking for a modern country song with relatable lyrics and catchy tune? Then look no further than “Outta My Head” by Cole Swindell. Originally co-written by Swindell, the song was given to Craig Campbell to record for his 2012 album, but Swindell decided to record it himself for his EP, “Down Home Sessions IV”. With over 20 years of experience in the music industry, Swindell knows how to create a hit, and “Outta My Head” is no exception.

About Outta My Head

The song starts off with a gentle acoustic guitar and Swindell’s smooth vocals. The melody gradually increases in intensity as the lyrics express the common feeling of not being able to get over someone. The chorus is a perfect example of the song’s catchiness and sing-along potential. Swindell sings “I can’t get you outta my, outta my head / Every little thought every little breath / Just lingerin', takin' its time / Baby, I can't get you outta my, outta my head”.

The verses in the song are where Swindell’s storytelling abilities truly shine. He sings about trying to distract himself with mundane activities like watching TV and going out with friends, but nothing seems to work. The bridge is a standout feature in the song, where the guitar and drums pick up the pace, and Swindell’s voice gets more emotional. He sings, “I thought I was alone in the dark / But it turns out you’re there in my heart”.

One of the unique aspects of “Outta My Head” is Swindell’s use of metaphor. He likens his inability to forget his former lover to a song that just keeps playing in his head. The line “You're like a jukebox in a neon dive / It's like the same damn song all the time” creates a vivid image in the listener’s mind and makes the song more memorable.

The instrumentals in the song are also noteworthy. Swindell’s use of a mixture of acoustic and electric guitars, along with drums and a bass guitar, give the song a contemporary country sound. The addition of a keyboard also adds a layer of depth to the melody.

One of the things that sets “Outta My Head” apart from other breakup songs is that it is not overly sad or depressing. Instead, Swindell focuses on the relatable aspect of not being able to get over someone. He acknowledges that it’s a common experience and that many people can relate to it. This makes the song more enjoyable to listen to and gives it a wider appeal.

In sum, “Outta My Head” is a contemporary country song filled with catchy melodies, relatable lyrics, and memorable instrumentals. Swindell’s storytelling abilities, use of metaphor, and focus on relatable experiences make this song stand out in an oversaturated market. Whether you’re going through a breakup or just want to listen to a great country song, “Outta My Head” is a must-listen.
