Caroline

Never did I think my whole life That I would meet a woman quite as cruel as you But when I broke down in that Mississippi-town Every dream I ever feared, oh Lord, came true Caroline, oh Caroline I barely made it out alive If you can't change my mind then nothing will Caroline, oh Caroline Pick me up, I'm tired of cryin' If you can't change my mind, then, honey, I'm already gone I sat sad, all alone on a makeshift barstool throne Whom to my surprise should my eyes see? What a pretty little thing, dressed in cowboy boots and jeans Then walked on over and sat down next to me Caroline, oh Caroline I barely made it out alive If you can't change my mind then nothing will Caroline, oh Caroline Pick me up, I'm tired of cryin' If you can't change my mind, then, honey, I'm already gone Well she asked if she could take me home Where we could be alone So I finished up my drink Said: "Come on!" By the time that we got home Lord, the cowboy boots were gone And the jeans were just danglin' by a thread barely holdin' on Caroline, oh Caroline I barely made it out alive If you can't change my mind then nothing will Caroline, oh Caroline Pick me up, I'm tired of cryin' If you can't change my mind, then, honey, I'm already gone Well I'd be lyin' if I said I missed you Lord I'd be lyin' if I wished you well I've been dyin' for the chance just to meet your man So I could ring his bell Oh, I was broke When at last I woke No Caroline, no money And no plans Well, Caroline was cruel And me, I played the fool Not to realize there was a ring upon her hand Caroline, oh Caroline I barely made it out alive If you can't change my mind then nothing will Caroline, oh Caroline I'm givin' up, 'cause I'm tired of tryin' If you can't change my mind, then, honey, I'm already gone I'm already gone Honey, I'm already gone
