Oh, Carolina creeksRunning through my veinsLost I was born, lonesome I cameLonesome I'll always stayCarolina knowsWhy for years I roamFree as these birds, light as whispersCarolina knows...
And you didn't see me hereNo, they never did see me here..
And she's in my dreamsInto the mist, into the cloudsDon't leaveI make a fist, I'll make it countAnd there are places I will never ever goAnd things that only Carolina will ever know..
Carolina stainsOn the dress she leftIndelible scars, pivotal marksBlue as the life she fledCarolina pinesWon't you cover me..Hide me like robes down the back roadMuddy these webs we weave..
And you didn't see me hereNo, they never did see me..
And she's in my dreamsInto the mist, into the cloudsDon't leaveI'll make a fist, I'll make it countAnd there are places I will never ever goAnd things that only Carolina will ever know
Oh..Oh..Oh..
And you didn't see me hereThey never did see me hereNo, you didn't see me hereThey never saw me..
Oh, Carolina knowsWhy for years they've saidThat I was guilty as sinAnd sleep in a liar's bedBut the sleep comes fastAnd I'll meet no ghostsIt's between me, the sand, and the seaCarolina knows...
