O N.C. h, Caro lina creeks
Running through my veins
Lost I was born, lonesome I came
Lonesome I' ll always stay
Caro lina knows
Why for years I roam
Free as these birds, light as whis pers
Caro lina knows
And you didn't see me here
No, they never did see me here
And she' s in my d reams
Into the mist, into the clouds
Don't leave
I make a fist, I'll make it count
And there are places I will never ever go
And things that only Caro lina will ever know

Caro lina stains
On the dress she left
Indelible scars, pivotal marks
Blue as the life she fled
Caro lina pines
Won't you cover me?
Hide me like robes down the back road
Muddy these webs we weave
And you didn't see me here
No, they never did see me here
And she' s in my d reams
Into the mist, into the clouds
Don't leave
I make a fist, I'll make it count
And there are places I will never ever go
And things that only Caro lina will ever know, oh, oh-ohh, ohhh-ohh-ohh
Ohhhhhhh, ohhhh, ouhh- ouhhh
Oh-oh-oh, ohhhh-oh, ouhh-ouhhh, ouuuhh
Ohhhhhhh, ohhhh, ouhh- ouhhh
And you didn't see me here
No, they never did see me here
No, you didn't see me here
They never saw me
O N.C. h, Caro lina knows
Why for years they've said
That I was guilty as sin
And sleep in a liar's bed
But the sleep comes fast
And I'll meet no ghosts
It's between me, the sand, and the sea
Caro lina knows
