Pearl of Carolina

Down an old dirt road, some forgotten street Dust clouds rising up from my dragging feet Can't remember when I last saw her face It seems like such a waste I left with no goodbye, such a whirlwind rush I don't remember why, can't say I remember much Doesn't seem to be a reason to return to bridges burned I've been walking day and night, I'm dying on my feet Too long since I've had a night of sleep I can hear it calling me, love I've known Come back home Pearl of Carolina, pearl of Carolina Been a long time gone, long time left to go I'm not ready yet, still I know Days are getting short, the nights are getting cold I'm growing old Given up all I've owned and everything I've gained Of all I'd thought I wanted only this remains Need to go and see the pearl of Carolina shine one more time I've been walking day and night, I'm dying on my feet Too long since I've had a night of sleep I can hear it calling me, love I've known Come back home Pearl of Carolina, pearl of Carolina I've been walking day and night, I'm dying on my feet Too long since I've had a night of sleep I can hear it calling me, love I've known Come back home Pearl of Carolina, pearl of Carolina Pearl of Carolina
