Ever since we took that midnight drive
|
Down to see the water in the full moon sky
|
And I told you I loved you on the blue creek road
|
Well I was pullin on forward for my Carolina Rose
|
|
Spent the next few years just singing my song
|
With Rose in the front row singing along
|
Til I got that call, had to hit that road
|
Man, how am I gonna leave my Carolina Rose
|
|
Yeah the big time is everything I ever wanted
|
But the spotlight can't hold a candle to you
|
Standing up here on this stage, they all say a¢æ©«man, you got it madea¢æ?
|
They don't know, it don't mean a thing without my Carolina Rose
|
|
Met a California girl on a west coast run
|
She sparkled like a diamond in the setting sun
|
They called me crazy when I let her go
|
I just couldn't stop thinking about my Carolina Rose
|
|
Yeah the big time is everything I ever wanted
|
But the spotlight can't hold a candle to you
|
Standing up here on this stage
|
They all say, a¢æ©«man, you got it madea¢æ?
|
They don't know, it don't mean a thing without my Carolina Rose
|
|
I've been halfway around the world
|
Just to come back to you
|
I hope I ain't too late
|
And I hope that you're still thinking about me too
|
|
So now I'm back here standing on your front porch
|
It's been five years baby, but it feels like more
|
Well let me drive you down that blue creek road
|
I got something to say to my Carolina Rose
|
|
Yeah the big time is everything I ever wanted
|
But the spotlight can't hold a candle to you
|
Standing up there on that stage, you might look like you got it made
|
But my heart knows, it don't mean a thing without my Carolina Rose
|
|
No it don't mean a thing without my Carolina rose
|
It don't mean a thing without my Carolina rose
|
