Lyrics
A shadow in the pale moonlight
Sweet Carolina, takin' flight
Runnin' from the ghosts that haunt your nights
With every mile the engines hum
We're drivin' towards the morning sun
Our journey's just begun
[VERSE]
Carolina, six foot high
Long brown hair and big green eyes
Sleepin neath the neon signs
Of some old two street town tonight
We don’t need to talk things through
Or you can cry the whole way too
Whatever feels alright to you
Cause you got baggage, I got
room [drop]
CHORUS]
Singing Carolina oh
It’s a long and winding road
Oh but if you’re ever lonely
You don’t have to ride alone
Strayin Carolina child
You been talkin now for miles
Rest your head down on my shoulder
Carolina
Let me drive ya
For a while
[IDENTICAL VERSE]
I been down the road before
You seen trouble, I seen more
I burned the bridge, I closed the door
Yeah I been rich and I been poor
So we don’t have to go too fast
Lemme make this highway last
Don’t need time, we don’t need cash
Just let them city lights go past
Takin' turns 'neath the starry sky
We share the silence, you and I
Drivin' 'neath that moon so high
We find peace in each other's eyes
[BRIDGE]
No destination, just the ride
With you, it feels like time just flies [drop]
[CHORUS]
Singing Carolina oh
It’s a long and winding road
Oh but if you’re ever lonely
You don’t have to ride alone
Strayin Carolina child
You been talkin now for miles
Rest your head down on my shoulder
Let me drive ya
For a while
[IDENTICAL VERSE]
Long stretch of highway,
just your hand in mine
Wheels hummin' softly,
Stories passing time
Hounds in the back
Keeping us in line
[BREAKDOWN]
We leave the sad days,
let the past unwind
In this sweet escape,
we're two of a kind
Yeah, Carolina girl,
in a sun-kissed world
Every curve in the road,
brings us closer to home
