Carolina

[Verse 1]
I never ran around on Carolina
That was the one thing couldn't make her believe
I make music and it made her lonely
She got tired of all the worryin' and watchin' me leave
Now as I ride this 747
Takin' my music east across the pond
I realize that we're right over Raleigh
That I cheated on Carolina with a song

[Chorus]
So by the time I'm over Carolina
She'll be wakin' up in Tennessee
And by the time I'm over Carolina
Carolina will be well over me

[Verse 2]
Now I make that same trip a lot more often
Across the Atlantic to play my guitar
And just when I think I'm over Carolina
I can see her face in the lights of Charlotte
And it still breaks my heart
'Cause the thing she loved the most about me
Was the same thing that drove her away
A lot of leavin' comes with the music
And she loved me too much to make me stay

[Chorus]
And by the time I'm over Carolina
She'll be wakin' up in Tennessee
By the time I'm over Carolina
Carolina will be well over me

[Chorus]
By the time I'm over Carolina
She'll be wakin' up in Tennessee
By the time I'm over Carolina
Carolina will be well over me

[Outro]
Carolina will be well over me
