Sweet Carolina pines fading fast
One eye on the road, one looking back
At all the memories of you and me, the history we drew
All over this mountain town that's fading out, now in my rear view
'Cause you ain't mine anymore
So I'm leaving it all behind
You said, "Goodbye, yeah, I'm sure
Ain't no changing my mind"
The only place I wanna be
No, I don't wanna leave
But you ain't mine anymore
So this town's yours
This town's where we both grew up
And that bar's where we both fell in love
But there ain't no way that I can stay 'cause it'll never be enough
It's all I've ever known, I don't wanna give it up
But you ain't mine anymore
So I'm leaving it all behind
You said, "Goodbye, yeah, I'm sure
Ain't no changing my mind"
The only place I wanna be
No girl, I don't wanna leave
But you ain't mine anymore
So this town's yours
So this town's yours
Sweet Carolina pines fading fast
One eye on the road, not looking back
'Cause you ain't mine anymore
So I'm leaving it all behind (leavin' it all behind)
You said, "Goodbye, yeah, I'm sure
Ain't no changing my mind"
The only place I wanna be
No, I don't wanna leave
But you ain't mine anymore
So this town's yours
So this town's yours
So this town's yours
This town's yours
