[Verse 1]
I went down to Houston and I stopped in San Antone
I passed up the station for the bus
Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust
[Verse 2]
So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
And I was spending money like the way it likes to rain
But 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've gambled up my life
Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains
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
[Harmonica Interlude]
[Verse 4]
Up here in the city it feels like things are closing in
The sunset's just my light bulb burning out
I miss Kentucky and I miss my family
All the sweetest winds 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
