Home to Carolina (feat. Paul Koss) Video (MV)

She told me that her home's back in Carolina
Where the wind don't blow so cold on a winter's day
And she told me that she's goin' back to Carolina
But North or South, I guess she didn't say

Well the chairs were on the tabletops
The glasses washed and the floor'd been mopped
Been about an hour since last call
My guitar in hand, headed for the door
I said I'll see you around, I'll be back once more
She smiled and said it's her last night in this town
She'll be leaving when that first light comes around

Then she told me that her home's back in Carolina
Where the wind don't blow so cold on a winter's day
And she told me that she's goin' back to Carolina
But North or South, I guess she didn't say

An empty sleeve, no card to play
No turning back and come what may
She won't be rolling 'round this way again
Those best laid plans can stay behind
Some bad luck takes you years to find
But sometimes it's a bolt out of the blue
Either way, you find you make it through

And she told me that her home's back in Carolina
Where the wind don't blow so cold on a winter's day
And she told me that she's goin' back to Carolina
But North or South, I guess she didn't say

She said: I don't mind gambling but you don't get second chances
So I'll leave the singers to their singing, leave the dancing to the dancers
And I don't pray anymore because some prayers the Devil answers
Now my car's all packed, I know this race is run
And I'll be driving toward the rising of the sun

And she told me that her home's back in Carolina
Where the wind don't blow so cold on a winter's day
And she told me that she's goin' back to Carolina
But North or South, I guess she didn't say
