I went down to Houston, and I stopped in San Antone |
|
I passed up the station for the bus |
|
I was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what |
|
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust |
|
So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane |
|
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance |
|
I was spending money like the way it likes to rain |
|
Man I ended up with pockets full of cane |
|
Oh my sweet Carolina |
|
What compels me to go? |
|
Oh my sweet disposition |
|
May you one day carry me home |
|
I've never been to Vegas, but I gambled up my life |
|
Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains |
|
Trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what |
|
Funny how they say that some things never change |
|
Oh my sweet Carolina |
|
What compels me to go? |
|
Oh my sweet disposition |
|
May you one day carry me home |
|
Up here in the city feels like things are closing me |
|
Sunset's just my light bulb burning out |
|
I miss Kentucky and I miss my family |
|
All the sweetest winds they blow across the south |
|
Oh my sweet Carolina |
|
What compels me to go? |
|
Oh my sweet disposition |
|
May you one day carry me home |
|
May you one day carry me home |
