Blue Carolina Sky Lyrics

I can see her as a young girl

Barefoot, bashful so shy

Her big brown eyes turned upward

Toward that blue Carolina sky

She always helped her daddy

With the tillin' of the earth

Never knowin' her value

Never knowin' her worth

She knew she'd find a way

From behind the garden gate

This was not her dream

This was not her fate

Leavin' home one summer morn'

With a big wave of goodbye

She finally said farewell

To that blue Carolina sky

She just knew she wanted

To give her life a try

Finally spread her wings

Let her dreams be realized

Just not underneath

That blue Carolina sky

It was in the sunshine state

Where she met her man

Puttin' hearts and heads together

They came up with a plan

Headin' up north to meet his folks

Got hitched on the fly

And drove right on past

That blue Carolina sky

He served his country

Livin' the Air Force life

As she settled in

To bein' his lovin' wife

Five children she bore him

As tiny gifts of love

Swearin' that each one

Was a gift from up above

She just knew she wanted

To give her life a try

Finally spread her wings

Let her dreams be realized

Just not underneath

That blue Carolina sky

But all this movin' 'round

Travelin' the big ol' world

Got to be too much

For this little Spring Creek girl

Now her frequent thoughts of home

Could surely make her cry

Not a single babe was born

'Neath that blue Carolina sky

She's much older now

And her love's been carried home

She'll join him one day

So he won't be all alone

Not an ounce of regret has she

For the life, she got to share

With family, friends, and children

There's nothin' can compare

She's truly earned her wings

And someday soon she'll fly

Straight home when God calls her

To that blue Carolina sky

Straight home when God calls her

To that blue Carolina sky
