CAROLINA ROAD

VERSE 1: I'M HEADING OUTTA HERE TOMORROW MORNING
MAMA CALLED AND SAID I NEED TO GO
THE OLD HOMEPLACE IS FALLING DOWN WITHOUT ME
SO TAKE ME BACK THERE CAROLINA ROAD
I LEFT THE FARM WHEN I WAS JUST A YOUNGSTER
DON'T KNOW WHY I EVER HAD TO GO
IF YOU CAN TAKE ME HOME I'M GONNA STAY THERE
I'M COUNTING ON YOU CAROLINA ROAD

CHORUS: CAROLINA ROAD, CAROLINA ROAD
I'M GOING HOME TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO
CAROLINA ROAD, CAROLINA ROAD
YOU CAN TURN ME EVERY WAY BUT LOOSE
ECHO: ALL I HAVE TO DO IS FOLLOW YOU

VERSE 2: I KNOW THE TRACTOR'S OLD AND GETTING RUSTY
THE GRASS IS TALL THERE AIN'T NOONE TO MOW
IT WON'T TAKE LONG TO GET IT BACK TOGETHER
SINCE DADDY PASSED IT DON'T TAKE LONG TO GROW
THE PLOW OUT IN THE BARN IS SITTING IDLE
I WONDER IF MY HAND STILL FITS A HOE
I'LL PLOW THE FIELDS AND GET THE CORN TO GROWIN'
WHEN I GET BACK THERE, CAROLINA ROAD

REPEAT CHORUS
