Carolina Lay down your soul She's starting to shine 'cause she's covered in gold But I made up my mind I'm packed up to go But something hangs over my head So take your pictures And bring something home But don't stay too long cause she'll swallow you whole There's a sign on the highway It says please pay the toll The change falls right out of my hand I hold on to something I had So carry me home Back to the coast There's something she holds And I don't understand it Carry me home Well Carolina you begged and you stole You sold me a night now you won't let me go But I've played all my chances I've got one more roll So watch as I walk out the door So carry me home Back to the coast So carry me home Back to the coast Carry me home Back to the coast Carry me home Back to the coast Carry me home
