Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control
Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
We shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same
Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Raised in Carolina
I'm not like that
Tryin' to remind her
When we go back
I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
I try, but you see it's hard to explain
I said the right things but act the wrong way
I like it right here but I cannot stay
I watched the TV, forget what I'm told
Well I am too young and they are too old
The joke is on you, this place is a zoo
You're right, it's true
He said he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everything's just great
Oh, I just can't remember
I just can't remember
Raised in Carolina
I'm not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back
I say the right things but act the wrong way
I like it right here but I cannot stay
I watched the TV, forget what I'm told
I am too young and they are too old
I'll make it you see I'm nervous, so please
Pretend to be nice so I can be mean
I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
I try, but you see It's hard to explain
