I was breaking off ties, she had thrown off lines
You were the best damn thing I could ever find,
I was stoned, like a joker on the 4th of July
And Those 18 wheels got me going strong
and you know there's one thing we've all come along from now,
There's only time on my side
So take me home, take me home sweet Carolina
Where I can, i can feed upon your shores
Take me home, take me home sweet Carolina
And I swear I will leave you no more
I was headed down south to another land
Making my way home with worn out hands
I was tired, but my heart skipped a beat for you
And the men stand tall with the big girls watching
The clouds rolled in and the trees grew haunted
There was something in the air that kept me high
So take me home, take me home sweet Carolina
Where I can, I can feed upon your shores
Take me home, take me home sweet Carolina
And I swear I will leave you love no more
I had Mary Louis by the side of my car
I was pushing off love but it didn't get me too far
It was early when I took her downtown
She could have lit up a smoke, I know she looked in my eyes
She could have told me that life was a brilliant surprise
Hey babe, how you make me wonder why
So take me home, take me home sweet Carolina
Where I can, I can feed upon your shores
Take me home, take me home sweet Carolina
And I swear I will leave you love no more
