Once upon a time in Caroline
There was a small town where you didn't have to lock your doors at night
Kids played outside mama knew it'd be alright
It felt like heaven just like heaven
Like growing up in heaven
A story by Mark Twain
Growing up in heaven
Fishing poles bare feet and grass stains
The mill by the river was its flesh and bone
The church on the hill was its heart and soul
An old school house a company store
And puppy love kisses from the girl next door
Growing up in heaven
Growing up in heaven
We went to church on Sunday morning the seat were filled
Everything was closed even quiet at the cotton mill
It might seem like a fairy tale but this place was real
It felt like heaven just like heaven
Like growing up in heaven
A story by Mark Twain
Growing up in heaven
Fishing poles bare feet and grass stains
The mill by the river was its flesh and bone
The church on the hill was its heart and soul
An old school house a company store
And puppy love kisses from the girl next door
I want to go back home but I know I can't
Open that old screen door and see my mom and dad
Waiting for me watching that old black and white TV
Their in heaven
A story by Mark Twain
Growing up in heaven
Fishing poles bare feet and grass stains
The mill by the river was its flesh and bone
The church on the hill was its heart and soul
An old school house a company store
And puppy love kisses from the girl next door
I grew up in heaven
Thank God
I grew up in heaven
Thank God
