Carolina

Oh Carolina creaks,
Running through my veins
Lost I was born
Lonesome I came
Lonesome I'll always stay
Carolina knows,
Why for years I roam
Free as these birds
Light as whispers
Carolina knows
And you didn't see me here
No, they never did see me here
And she's in my dreams
Into the mist, into the clouds
Don't leave, I make a fist, I make it count
And there are places I will never, ever go
And things that only Carolina will ever know
Carolina stings
On the dress she left
Indelible scars
Pivotal marks
Blue as the life she fled
Carolina pines
Won't you cover me
Hide me like robes
Down the back road
Muddy these webs we weave
And you didn't see me here
No, they never did see me here
And she's in my dreams
Into the mist, into the clouds
Don't leave, I make a fist, I make it count
And there are places I will never, ever go
And things that only Carolina will ever know,
Woah oh oh oh
Woah, oh oh oh
Woah woah, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And you didn't see me here
They never did see me here
No, you didn't see me here
They never saw me
Oh Carolina knows
Why for years they've said
That I was guilty as sin
And sleep in a liar's bed
But the sleep comes fast
And I'll meet no ghosts
It's between me, the sand, and the sea
Carolina knows
