Leaving Carolina

There's a little town right on the coast of Carolina College kids gettin' drunk I know where to find 'em Sometimes I miss it But it was time to go I'm leaving Carolina Heading straight to Tennessee It's a long drive, 600 miles But I have to chase a dream Mama doesn't get it Daddy understands why I'm leaving Carolina 11 hours, 4 stops, and a gas station dinner Blue skies, teary eyes But I made it here I traded my day job for late nights downtown It's a funny feeling But I'll come around I'm leaving Carolina Heading straight to Tennessee It's a long drive, 600 miles But I have to chase a dream Mama doesn't get it Daddy understands why I'm leaving Carolina Carolina I'm right where I need to be It's a long road, I know But now I see Why I left Carolina Headed straight to Tennessee It was a long drive, 600 miles But I chased the dream Now Mama gets it And Daddy still understands why I left Carolina Carolina
