Tennessee in January
Everything, ordinary
You're unlike anything I see

Is it how I really feel
or just another heart to steal
to feel this song inside of me

Carolina, you will have to forgive me
Carolina, this is just my tendency
Forgive me

I pass another day I waste
on thoughts and words I had to ask
like what if, what then, wh not, and who could say

All I really know of you
You're just as lonely too
Cause desperate hearts are hearts that need someone

Carolina, you will have to forgive me
Carolina, this is just my tendency
Forgive me

I'm careless sometimes
I'm sure that you'll find
thats not how I wanna live my life
I wanna be sure, but don't know how to or how hard to try

Carolina, you will have to forgive me
Carolina, this is just my tendency (x2)

Carolina
Carolina
Carolina
Carolina

Down in Tennessee
Sits a girl alone
She sings along with her favorite songs on the radio

Only friends she sees
Are on TV
Magazine and movie stars are her only family
Yeah they’re all she needs

Carolina's so
Happy on the outside
She keeps frowning inside

In the Nashville sky
Shines a diamond bright
Carolina says it’s for the boys after midnight
She drifts off to sleep
And in her dreams
She lives in California in a mansion by the sea
Yeah that’s who she could be

Carolina's so
Happy on the outside
She keeps frowning inside

Carolina's so
Happy on the outside
She keeps frowning inside

And then she wakes to find out
Her dream is real (It's real)
It’s real (It’s real)
It’s real (It’s real)
It’s real

Carolina's so
Happy on the outside
And now she's smiling inside

Smiling inside (Inside)
Smiling inside (Inside)
Smiling inside (Inside)
Smiling inside

Every scream went bleeding through these paper walls
And all the make-up in the world couldn't hide the scars
I leave today, I'm packing light: a suitcase, some toiletries
The rolling hills and willow trees of Carolina wait for me

You never learned, the rules have changed since we were nine
This isn't school, boys don't assault the girls they like
The taste of blood, the claim of love; these two will here on cease to be
Sprouting from your fists and tongue 'cause Carolina waits for me

Fields of grain go whipping by from the window seat
I'm drifting in, I'm drifting out catching up on sleep
I couldn't get indentured since the very crest of 17
I left my keys and broken dreams 'cause Carolina waits for me

I will never forgive a single day
Mile markers seem to call my name and say,
You're safer now through every town, we'll light your way in reflective green All the way, the entire state of Carolina waits for me

Carolina
Nos seus olhos fundos
Guarda tanta dor
A dor de todo esse mundo
Eu já lhe expliquei que não vai dar
Seu pranto não vai nada mudar
Eu já convidei para dançar
É hora, já sei, de aproveitar
Lá fora, amor
Uma rosa nasceu
Todo mundo sambou
Uma estrela caiu
Eu bem que mostrei sorrindo
Pela janela, ói que lindo
Mas Carolina não viu

Carolina
Nos seus olhos tristes
Guarda tanto amor
O amor que já não existe
Eu bem que avisei, vai acabar
De tudo lhe dei para aceitar
Mil versos cantei pra lhe agradar
Agora não sei como explicar
Lá fora, amor
Uma rosa morreu
Uma festa acabou
Nosso barco partiu
Eu bem que mostrei a ela
O tempo passou na janela
Só Carolina não viu

Carolina
Her tears are falling like the spanish moss
Disappearing
Into beauty found in beauty lost

So it goes
The summer blooms and fades away
Like moonlight falling on a bed
And there can be no solice in remembering
The words we never said

Faded postcards
Of all the places she loves best
Take her far away
As she presses wrinkles from her cotton dress

So it goes
The summer blooms and fades away
Like moonlight falling on a bed
And there can be no solice in remembering
The words we never said

So it goes
The summer blooms and fades away
Like moonlight crashing to the earth
And there can be no solice in remembering
The way things never were

I'm so confused how to live without you
I'm not comfortable being all alone
and when I walk downtown I can see her everywhere
Shes the streets at night
Shes the morning light
and the main thing I think about at night
But were better off this way, right

Carolina you're too far away from me
Why cant you see California's what you need
What can i do so i don't ever lose you?

And I know now that the world isn't over baby
Talk to me, how's your family?
And were better off out in the world
and the two of us can be who we want to be
And shes quite a lot
I have to see, see she's real, she's really not for me

Carolina youre too far away from me,
Why cant you see California's what you need
What can I do so I dont ever lose you?

Oh, where’ you goin’ for the two hundred and fiftieth time
(Well I’m waiting for a sign)
Well, it looks just like another line
And I’m walking backwards to the place where I come from
Oh but that ain’t enough, no you want me to run

Used to feel like California, with baby eyes so blue
Now I feel like Carolina, I split myself in two
Now I’m walking backwards from Chicago through Washington
Oh but that ain’t enough no, you want me to run
Oh that ain’t enough no you want me to run

Better watch your soul it’ll leave you like a hundred bucks
My friend said, “stick to your guns”
But instead I just got stuck
And I’m walking backwards lookin’ forward to getting done
Oh but that ain’t enough, no you want me to run
Oh that ain’t enough no, you want me to run

Used to feel like California, with baby eyes so blue
Now I feel like Carolina, I split myself in two
Used to feel like California, with baby eyes so blue
Now I feel like Carolina, I split myself in two

Carolina, por qué te has ido sin hablar.
Carolina,no es justo verte así marchar.

Carolina, Carolina, con mis pensamientos
tú me dejas solamente,
y mirando hacia atrás.
Carolina, Carolina, si estaba equivocado,
olvida lo pasado para volver a empezar.

Carolina, al no tenerte junto a mí.
Carolina,
mi vida es nada ya sin tí.
Sin un reproche, y así sin más.

Carolina, Carolina,con mis pensamientos
tú me dejas solamente,
y mirando hacia atrás.
Carolina, Carolina, si estaba equivocado,
olvida lo pasado para volver a empezar

Carolina é uma menina bem difícil de esquecer
Andar bonito e um brilho no olhar
Tem um jeito adolescente que me faz enlouquecer
E um molejo que não vou te enganar
Maravilha feminina, meu docinho de pavê
Inteligente, ela é muito sensual
Te confesso que estou apaixonado por você

Carolina, she's from Texas
Red bricks drop from her vagina
Oh, her lips taste just like sunk ships
But her breasts taste just like breakfast
There's her hand now on the cock sock
Filled with white tears from the thrift store
She's an eyesore in her red dress
I'm the ghost of her deceased when she said

Give us back our lives
Leave him, Carolina
Everything's just fine
Refill my prescription
Until next time
I get so lost inside the rooms inside my mind

California presidente
Cogi mucho estoy cansado
Dostoevskij, Fab Moretti
Antiseptic, complimentary
There's her hand now on the cock sock
Filled with white tears from the thrift store
She's an eyesore in her red dress
I'm the ghost of her deceased when she said

Give us back our lives
Leave him, Carolina
Everything's just fine
Refill my prescription
Until next time
I get so lost inside the rooms inside my mind

Goodnight Sweetheart
Flying high on birth control
She knows the pregnancy will show
That she smells nice when you look twice
Who's your boyfriend, Carolina?
And it's goodnight sweetheart
Flying high on birth control
She knows the rejections in her bones

Carolina, she's from Texas
Red bricks drop from her vagina
Carolina
Carolina
Carolina

California in the evening
Rush past the water
Get me over the great state line
The skies electrical it’s screaming
Trying to find the morning
Hell I’d settle for the other side
Don’t bother counting up the days boy
Numbers gettin’ bigger by the minute and I’m so tired
But I can honestly say boy
Oh unless you’re in it I don’t want it so here it comes
Fire
Over the horizon keeping my eyes on
Wire

All the way in Carolina
I won’t go home until I find ya
Ya fill my bones my mind up so
I’m coming to Carolina
Don’t ya know I’m right behind ya
No love of mine
Is gonna wind
Up leaving me for Carolina

Don’t feel the summer like I used to
Oh you brought thunder, tugged me under, its all your fault
Want me to let you leave do you?
Well I never minded aftermath
And this is what happens to a
Liar
Miles on the highway
Nothing to stop me
Until I’m done

Coming for you Carolina
Won’t go home till I find ya
Ya fill my bones my mind up so
I’m coming to Carolina
Don’t you know I’m right behind ya
No love of mine
Is gonna wind
Up leaving me for Carolina

I don’t mind the rain it suits me
Makes the pain pursuit seem
Less unruly
It’s been a good night
And one hell of a drive

Coming for you Carolina
Won’t go home till I find ya
Ya fill my bones my mind up so
I’m coming to Carolina
Don’t you know I’m right behind ya
No love of mine
Is gonna wind
Up leaving me for Carolina
Leaving me for Carolina
Leaving me for Carolina

There's a cabin in a valley,
My grandpa built on your land.
Your mountains are a canvas,
For the makers hand.

Tonight I'm fishing up a river,
If only in my mind.
No, I haven't seen her banks in such a long, long time.

I carry you in my heart
your memory comes over me like the dark and

(Refrain)
Like a phone call from my baby,
Sayin' honey I miss ya like crazy.
Like the sound of a siren song,
Oh Carolina, ya keep callin me home.
Callin' me home.

Sometimes I grow weary,
From goin' all the time.
I love to take a minute,
Let you ease my mind.

I'd love to see my mama
Maybe go for a drive
But I gotta play the star in some little town again tonight

Don't get me wrong
I love what I do
It's just another song about missing you

(Refrain)
Callin' me home
Callin' me home
Callin' me home, yeah

Oh, oh, we're almost home

Like a phone call from my baby
Sayin honey I miss ya, I miss ya like crazy
Just like the song of a siren song

Oh Carolina,
Carolina,
Carolina,
Keep callin me home,
Callin' me home,
Callin' me home,
Callin' me home

Carolina,
Carolina,
Keep callin' me home.

Under city lights
You got mesmerized
You forgot where you are from
And who you are

Such a tragedy
You were young and free
Did you ever think
That you'd fall so far

Turn it on tonight
Carolina
Till the morning light
Carolina

I remember when
You were innocent
I remember what you were
My dirty rose

Never happy now
You're just selling out
Easy street is drenched in tears
You know it's never paved in gold

Turn it on tonight
Carolina
Till the morning light
Carolina

Just leave your dirty little secrets for a while
Just leave your dirty little secrets for a while
Let me make it alright

[Solo]

Turn it on tonight
Carolina
Till the morning light
Carolina

Turn it on tonight
Carolina
Till the morning light
Carolina
