Oh My Sweet Carolina

[Verse 1]
Well, I went down to Houston, stopped in San Antone
And I passed up the station for the bus
I was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
And then I ended up with pockets full of dust

[Verse 2]
So I went on to Cleveland and ended up insane
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
And I was spending money like the way it likes to rain
And then I ended up with pockets full of cane

[Chorus]
Oh, my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh, my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home

[Verse 3]
I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled all my life
Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains
And I was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
Funny how they say that some things never change

[Chorus]
Oh, my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh, my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home

[Verse 4]
Well, up here in the city feels like things are closing in
The sunset's just my light bulb burning out
And I miss Karlovy and I miss my family
All the sweetest winds they blow across the south

[Chorus]
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
