Oh My Sweet Carolina

Well, I went down to Houston, stopped in San Antone And I passed up the station for the bus I was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what And then I ended up with pockets full of dust So I went on to Cleveland and ended up insane I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance And I was spending money like the way it likes to rain And then I ended up with pockets full of cane Oh, my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh, my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled all my life Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains And I was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what Funny how they say that some things never change Oh, my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh, my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home Well, up here in the city feels like things are closing in The sunset's just my light bulb burning out And I miss Karlovy and I miss my family All the sweetest winds they blow across the south Oh, my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh, my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home May you one day carry me home
