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 ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life
|
Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains
|
Was 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 in
|
The sunsets 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
|
