Oh CarolinaOn a dark and sandy beach after the sunset With this bitter cold wind biting at my face I hear my name being whispered in the distance It seems to call me to another place Sometime I curse this gypsie blood That's running through my veins It makes me want to wander Whenever seasons change But, oh, Carolina Where do your open highways go? But I have to leave you Carolina To find the great unknown On a rainy afternoon in late December Me and Gunner dog we lit out on the road We headed west with a case of Ramen noodles And a little trailer this RV could tow. We saw the Blue Ridge Mountains And the hills of Tennessee Even made a stop in Graceland To visit with the King But, oh, Carolina Look where these open highways go And I wonder Carolina Do you even know I'm gone? It was underneath the desert sky in Arizona Thoughts of you come drifting through my mind And I remember driving down your sandy beaches And the sunsets off Cape Hatteras would wind Me and Gunner are in Texas now, We still got some things to do I've seen the start of something different And I've gotta see it through But, oh, Carolina You're with me everywhere I roam Because I might have left you Carolina But, girl I'm coming home I'm coming home And I'm coming home |
