Carbondale Lyrics

I'm going to take you out of Carbondale

You don't need to be there anymore

And as far as I can see there aint a thing for you to be

Hanging around in southern Illinois

Misty morning, the sun is rising and we're eastward bound

Burning daylight along the highway let the miles role out

Let the mile roll out

We'll make a quick stop off in Bowling Green

Top off the tank maybe get a bite

And as nice as it may be there's nothing there for you and me

Just like it was in southern Illinois

So we'll drive to that mountain top in east Tennessee

Feel the son set at our backs

And in the fading light and the pines we'll look out over Carolina

Not sure where we are going or why

Early evening, the moon is shining and we're eastward bound

Catching our third wind along the highway

As the miles roll out, let the mile roll out

We're going make it down to the sea. Stand on the beach in the predawn night

And in the spill of the milky way just before the break of day

Looks just the same in southern Illinois

Misty morning, the sun is rising and the tide rolls out

We're not homesick, we're just heartbroken

But that's fading now, yes that feelings fading now

We'll never go back to Carbondale. We don't need to be there anymore

And as far as I can see there's nothing left for you and me

Hanging around in southern Illinois

Hanging around in southern Illinois
