Oh My Sweet Carolina

I went down to Houston
And I stopped in San Antone
Passed up the station for the bus
I was tryin' to find me somethin'
But I wasn't sure just what
Man, I ended up with pockets full of dust

So I went on to Cleveland
And I ended up insane
I bought a borrowed suit
And learned to dance
I was spendin' money
Like the way it used to rain
And I ended up with pockets full of 'caine

Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go?
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home

I've never been to Vegas
But I gambled up my life
Buildin' news print boats
I raced in sewer mains
Tryin' to find me somethin'
But I wasn't sure just what
Funny how they say that
Some things never change

Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go?
Oh my sweet dispostion
May you one day carry me home

Well, up here in the city
Feels like things are closin' in
The sunset's just my lighbulb a-burnin' out
I miss Kentucky, and I miss my family
All the sweetest winds
They blow across the South

Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go?
Oh my sweet dispostion
May you one day carry me home
May you one day carry me home
