I can't forget the way things used to be
So, I pluck strings and dream of days when all the doubts in my head leave
I just can't shake the way things used to be
I can't stop dreaming of what's down the road
Just plowing hard to loose the roots of every fear that I let grow
I can't stop dreaming of what's down the road
Carolina, you're the only one that I can call my home
Sweet Carolina, you're the only one that I can call my own
And, I'm not alone
I'm sick of chasing dreams around a tree
Never catching who I want to be
Well, maybe he lives when I'm six feet deep
So, I'll bury worry where it ought to be
Carolina, you're the only one that I can call my home
Sweet Carolina, you're the only one that I can call my own
And, I'm not alone
No, I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm driving home to Carolina
I'll chase the hills all the way from Tennessee
I smell the fires of freedom call me further
And I will drown no more
Finally breathe the air inside of me
I'm driving home to Carolina
I'll chase the hills all the way from Tennessee
I smell the fires of freedom call me further
And I will drown no more
Finally breathe the air inside of me
Carolina, you're the only one that I can call my home
Sweet Carolina, you're the only one that I can call my own
And, I'm not alone
