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 In carolina
