Verse
Headed South to Asheville town, we stumble down the mountain singing
Oh, don't you remember the lonesome river bed.
No way back to Windston Salem, Engine Failing, You were playing a song
I didn't remember and I couldn't understand.
And just before the Chorus and a hail of forest pine and promise
No now please don't let me down.
Oh, I didn't understand, I'm only hearing now.
You said Carolina I'm inclined to leave you and never come back
Carolina I'm inclined to go
Carolina take the time to know me cause I never knew you
Know me, whatever is left to know
Verse
Searching for the lost horizon seeping through the blue ridge rising
Oh, don't you remember, we didn't get too far.
Past the night in restless dreaming, I never guessed that you were leaving
Oh, tellin' me the future on a little Swiss guitar.
Just before the Chorus and a hail of forest, keep your promise,
No now, please play one more time.
Oh, I didn't understand, I never heard goodbye.
When you said Carolina I'm inclined to leave you and never come back
Carolina I'm inclined to go
Carolina take the time to know me cause I never knew you
Know me, whatever is left to know
Ending
Carolina I'm inclined to leave you and never come back
Carolina I'm inclined to go
Carolina take the time to know me cause I never knew you
Know me, whatever is left to know
Oooooooooohhh
Oooooooooohhh
