Can I find out where a webpage visitor came from?

Question

When someone visits my site, is there any info at all I can access that will tell me where they came from that I can store in a database? I'm not trying to find out their history or track them or anything, I just want to know how users are finding my page.

In Google Analytics there's a Referral Traffic page that shows you the top sources that your visitors originate from. Google Analytics is easy to set up on your site, in case your don't have it.
