You can take the girl from the hills
Take the girl from the fields
From my family
Oh my family
You can steal the light from my eyes
Cut me down critisize
Tell me pretty lies
(Chorus)
But you can't take Carolina
You can't take Carolina
You can't take Carolina from my soul
Maybe I'll see my name up in lights
People will sing every line
Wouldn't that be fine
Oh wouldn't that be something
Even if we never get that far
Sing our words to the distant star
Here in the end we gotta be who we are
Girl remember who you are
(Repeat Chorus)
I see an old dirt road where I learned to walk, now I'm running
And I know where I'm going, but I sure know where I'm coming from
Oh oh oh
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
Oh my soul
