Carolina Sky Lyrics

The breeze is blowing

The pines sing out their song

And I know that before long

I’ll be leaven

There’s no way of knowing

Just how long I’ll be

But the call is sure to bring me home

To a place

Where the grass is always greener

I’ll find a way

To come back soon

So if I’m gone when the sun sets into night I’ll see it rise again

In a Carolina sky

My heart belongs there

Not rambling on this road

Gotta thousand miles to go

To get nowhere

I know it isn’t fair

That I put it all before

My home that rests in your sweet land

There’s a place

Where the grass is always greener

I’ll find a way

To come back soon

So if I’m gone when the sun sets into night I’ll see it rise again

In a Carolina sky

You’ve nurtured me and helped me be

The man that surely cannot see

The roots of his desire

From the highest mountain to the sea

Please keep a steady hand on me

And bring me back, Oh Carolina

In my last days

When I take my final breath

And I’m finally laid to rest

Don’t you cry

I’ll still remain

Even if my body’s gone

My soul will carry on with you

In a place

Where the grass is always greener

I’ll find a way

To come back soon

So if I’m gone when the sun sets into night I’ll see it rise again

In a Carolina sky
