I guess she caught that plane early this morning
|
'Cause that "I've decided to stay" call never came
|
And right about now Lord she's nearly back to Asheville
|
I'm staring out at a south Georgia rain
|
Wonderin' if I'll ever touch her again
|
|
If there were only miles between us
|
I'd be there in a good days drive
|
But the last time I held her
|
I saw the distance in her eyes
|
She once crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains
|
And swore that she'd be mine
|
But she never brought her heart across
|
The Carolina line
|
|
She always said this place felt just like home
|
But she had memories she never did unpack
|
And even in my arms holdin' me close
|
She never let go of the past
|
Or the one who kept callin' her back
|
|
If there were only miles between us
|
I'd be there in a good days drive
|
But the last time I held her
|
I saw the distance in her eyes
|
She must have missed those Blue Ridge Mountains
|
Or someone she left behind
|
'Cause I never got her heart across
|
The Carolina line
|
|
When she crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains
|
ANd left me here behind
|
Lord knows she took my heart across
|
That Carolina line
|
