Carolinas Lyrics

First thing I saw were steeples touching the sky

Hanging out 'til the docks got dark

Next thing I knew we had made our own paradise

Forgetting all the hard things in our minds

When I met you in the Carolinas

Knew right away that we were just killin' time

Let the hard things go unspoken

Oh, but we got on alright

You told me everything there was to know on the first night

By the second night there wasn't much left to say

We just sat there with a bottle of wine

I needed company and you were just fine

When I met you in the Carolinas

Knew right away that we were just killin' time

Let the hard things go unspoken

Oh, but we got on alright

Those summer nights had a different kind of heat

And it made me to talk slow when I was trying to speak

But I think you know what I was trying to say

If the timing it was better I would stick around

But I got a lot of things I need to figure out

So I wrote you instead so you could understand

When I met you in the Carolinas

Knew right away, that we were just killin' time

Let the hard things go unspoken

Oh, but we got on alright
