Oh My Sweet Carolina

Well, 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 on?

Oh, my sweet disposition, may you one day carry me home.

I ain't never been to Vegas, but I gambled up my life

Buildin' new sprint boats, I raced the sewer mains

I was tryin' to find me somethin', 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 in.

The sunset's just my lightbulb 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
