Carolina
Carolina wasn't just some girl I knew in high school
We skipped class to smoke cigarettes and broke all the rules
She'd tell me she'd be headed out west to Hollywood
Gonna make it in the movies and see if she could
Leave this town behind her for good
Oh Carolina, she don't have to worry 'bout that man anymore
Oh Carolina, she don't have to worry 'bout that locked front door
She went and borrowed her grandaddy's 22
And wasn't shy 'bout making sure she followed through
I could tell you where he's now six feet under
But I ain't gonna tell on Carolina
I heard she got together with a guy we knew in school
He'd had a full ride before he blew his scholarship
For playing football
He became a dead end man in a dead end town
Didn't need another reason for pushing her around
He just kept on keeping her down
Oh Carolina, she don't have to worry 'bout that man anymore
Oh Carolina, she don't have to keep an eye on that locked front door
She went and borrowed her grandaddy's 22
And wasn't shy 'bout making sure she followed through
I could tell you where he's now six feet under
But I ain't gonna tell on Carolina
Well she skipped town in the middle of the night and
He hasn't been seen out and about
I guess she won't make it as a movie star but
Last I saw she was headed on down to south
Carolina, I hear Charleston is real nice this time of year
And people don't stop to wonder 'bout a pretty girl who just appears
Oh Carolina, she don't have to worry 'bout that man anymore
Oh Carolina, she don't have to worry 'bout that locked front door
She went and borrowed her grandaddy's 22
And wasn't shy 'bout making sure she followed through
I could tell you where he's now six feet under
But I ain't gonna tell on Carolina
We skipped class to smoke cigarettes and broke all the rules
She'd tell me she'd be headed out west to Hollywood
Gonna make it in the movies and see if she could
Leave this town behind her for good
Oh Carolina, she don't have to worry 'bout that man anymore
Oh Carolina, she don't have to worry 'bout that locked front door
She went and borrowed her grandaddy's 22
And wasn't shy 'bout making sure she followed through
I could tell you where he's now six feet under
But I ain't gonna tell on Carolina
I heard she got together with a guy we knew in school
He'd had a full ride before he blew his scholarship
For playing football
He became a dead end man in a dead end town
Didn't need another reason for pushing her around
He just kept on keeping her down
Oh Carolina, she don't have to worry 'bout that man anymore
Oh Carolina, she don't have to keep an eye on that locked front door
She went and borrowed her grandaddy's 22
And wasn't shy 'bout making sure she followed through
I could tell you where he's now six feet under
But I ain't gonna tell on Carolina
Well she skipped town in the middle of the night and

And people don't stop to wonder 'bout a pretty girl who just appears
Oh Carolina, she don't have to worry 'bout that man anymore
Oh Carolina, she don't have to worry 'bout that locked front door

And wasn't shy 'bout making sure she followed through
I could tell you where he's now six feet under
But I ain't gonna tell on Carolina
