    He's getting refined. This specific track I noticed a little change in his voice. It's not pushing it, singing more naturally. Don't get me wrong I love it when you sings hard too. Remember he started very young. A real professional. The perfect band alongside him. It's rejuvenated my love for the blues rock sound.

      I completely agree and understand what you're saying. I've said before that his real raspy voice, while very good, isn't needed in all instances and I actually wondered if he could sustain that way of singing for an entire career. All of his most recent stuff, he's definitely singing more balanced. It's great to see.

    Lyrics:
    Verse 1:
    I dreamed of the day
    When I’d hold you in my arms again
    Read you all the letters I wrote
    And never sent
    Give you all the pieces of me
    Put’em back together
    Put’em back together again
    Life has a way of writing your story for you
    And The hero
    Doesn’t always get his girl
    What if you could change the ending
    To the novel we've been writing
    Leave no resolution
    Chorus:
    So goodbye Carolina
    Searched my whole life to find ya
    Hate to leave you but I hope you’ll know
    Where I’m going I’ll be seeing you
    So hold my hand as I’m leaving
    Hoped my pain would be enough reason
    I’ll see you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky
    Now I’m going
    here to tell you goodbye
    Verse 2:
    Say it takes a selfish man
    To leave on out
    from his old hometown
    Without saying why he’s going
    You can come and take the rest of me
    Early in the morning
    Tell me your goodbyes
    Where I’m going
    I wont have the reminders
    Of what I lost
    And what was taken away from me
    But I hope you’ll understand
    I was a broken man in my own hometown
    Needing to find my own peace
    Chorus:
    Goodbye Carolina
    Searched my whole life to find ya
    I hate to leave you but I hope you’ll know
    Where I’m going I’ll be seeing you
    So hold my hand as I’m leaving
    Thought my pain would be enough reason
    I’ll see you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky
    Now I’m going
    Here to tell you goodbye
    Instrumental bridge
    Outro Chorus:
    Goodbye Carolina
    Searched my whole life to find ya
    I hate to leave you but I hope you’ll know
    Where I’m going I’ll be seeing you
    I’ll be seeing you
    I’ll be seeing you
    Sick instrumental outro
    Couldn’t find any anywhere, thought I’d share what I came up with!

      Is this song just about leaving his home town or a girl in his hometown?

      @Spider-manana, it's about a friend of Marcus's who committed suicide. He was traveling abroad in France and the lyrics "goodbye Carolina" just came to him, and he was reminded of his friend.

    Reminds me of early Allman Brothers with a little Chris Stapleton thrown in. Very impressed.

    I dreamed of the day when I'd hold you in my arms again
    Read you all the letters I wrote, never sent
    Give you all the pieces of me
    Put 'em back together
    Put 'em back together again
    Life has a way of writing your story for you
    And the hero doesn't always get his girl
    What if you could change the ending
    To the novel they've been writing
    Leave no resolution
    So goodbye Carolina
    Searched my whole life to find you
    I hate to leave you but I hope you'll know
    Where I'm going I'll be seeing you
    So hold my hand as I'm leaving
    Hoped my pain would be enough reason
    See you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky
    Now I'm going
    Hate to tell you goodbye
    Say it takes a selfish man
    To leave on out from his old hometown without saying why he's going
    But you can come take the rest of me
    Early in the morning
    Tell me your goodbye
    Where I'm going I won't have these reminders of what I lost
    What was taken away from me
    And I hope you'll understand
    I was a broken man in my own hometown
    Need to find my own peace
    So goodbye Carolina
    Searched my whole life to find you
    I hate to leave you but I hope you'll know
    Where I'm going I'll be seeing you
    So hold my hand as I'm leaving
    Hoped my pain would be enough reason
    See you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky
    Now I'm going
    Hate to tell you goodbye
    So goodbye Carolina
    Searched my whole life to find you
    I hate to leave you but I hope you'll know
    Where I'm going I'll be seeing you
    I'll be seeing you
    I'll be seeing you
