Carolina Can

It was laying pennies on the rails and Sneaking off to chew red man It was a Friday night win followed by a Saturday bruise It was the first blue ribbon my dad and I drank Baptized on Glenville Lake A tear in her eyes the night we lost all we had to lose That tobacco town where I grew up A tailgate down on a jacked up truck A ring we earned cause we owned that state A tombstone with my daddy's name Now this six string dream on a crazy course Has got my compass losing north And I need someone to remind me who I am Carolina Can It was faded blue denim on franklin street A He's Not buzz, a house band beat It was a summer heat dragging me to a 5th year fall It was classes skipped cause a room couldn't teach What we learned 3 days on Wrightsville beach With my high school love, Short hair and that sweet home-town southern draw Now two times zones 10 states away Another night another show to play Well hey Mr Taylor, she ain't only on your mind
