Lyrics:
Chorus-Carolina, you have wounded me
again and again i keep playing my hand
only to be brought to my knees
Carolina, like the blue filters through the trees
you have exposed the void in my soul
blown me away like autumn leaves
1-i should have known better
should have known there was no use
to leave my home in Texas
through the south go chasing you
now i've pulled into Charlotte
i heard you recently left
with some other guy on I-85
thinking only of yourself
2-mama said she would watch the children
said she didn't mind
said hurry back home son
i wish you well i hope that you can find
their mother somewhere back near her home
now i've driven across this state
looking for you tangled up in blue
by the heartaches you create
3-i'm turning this pickup around
i'm heading back to Lone Star
maybe someday you will return
you'll always have a special place in my heart
i'll have to be strong
i'll do the best that i can
but only so much by someone's who has been crushed
can be done by a broken man
