Carolina

It's a narrow winding road we drive dear
With our baggage on our backs a bumpy ride dear
But i would travel miles for you in the dark of night
To pour us both some spirits and to clink your glass up against mine
Oh i'd like nothing better in this whole world
Than to sit and waste all of my time with you girl
But the mountains they are ringing, won't you open the door
And time like yours is made for more than hours capped at 24

And i hope carolina's good to you
And i know you were never mine to lose
And i hope carolina takes you in
But remember when you're crying, my dear friend
That you are my moonshine
My bourbon and my wine
You've got a home beside me
Even if you spend your whole life
In carolina
In carolina

Kentucky's where our little feet were grounded
And kentucky's where your fiddlestrings first sounded
But appalachia's arms are wider than they seem
You're only on the other side of a couple rivers, couple streams
And lately things are changing like the weather
But if there's another you out there i sure haven't met her
And i'm not much for singing without you thirds above
And i'm not much for drinking, but i'll take exception just this once

Cause i hope carolina's good to you
And i know you were never mine to lose
And i hope carolina takes you in
But remember when you're crying, my dear friend
That you are my moonshine
My bourbon and my wine
You've got a home beside me
Even if you spend your whole life
In carolina
