THE ROAD THAT TOOK YOU THERE (Carolina Road)

VERSE 1: WHENEVER THAT BIG CITY GETS YOU DOWN
AND YOU HAVE LOST THE FANCY FRIENDS YOU FOUND
THE FOLKS AT HOME ARE WAITING
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ALONE
THE ROAD THAT TOOK YOU THERE
WILL BRING YOU HOME

CHORUS: THE ROAD THAT TOOK YOU THERE WILL BRING YOU HOME
SOMETIMES THE ROAD IS ROCKY AND IT'S LONG
A COUNTRY HEART GETS HEAVY
LIKE ANY ROLLING STONE
THE ROAD THAT TOOK YOU THERE
WILL BRING YOU HOME

VERSE 2: A LONELY HEART WILL GET THE URGE TO FLY
AND DARLIN' YOU'RE JUST FLYING FOR A FALL
THESE EMPTY ARMS ARE WAITING
WHY DON'T YOU JUST COME ON
THE ROAD THAT TOOK YOU THERE
WILL BRING YOU HOME

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3: THE CITY LIGHTS WILL BLIND YOU TO THE TRUTH
DON'T YOU GIVE UP ON YOUR COUNTRY ROOTS
DON'T PUT IT IN A LETTER
DON'T PICK UP THE TELEPHONE
THE ROAD THAT TOOK YOU THERE
WILL BRING YOU HOME
