lyrics

BRING IT HOME CAROLINA

When you’ve finally got dog-tired of all your runnin’
Chasing something that just ain’t ever gonna come around
And your veins have had enough of all their junkin’
And you’ve hounded the last tourist out of town
When you’ve finally made a grave up for your mama
And drove your daddy’s dust clear out of sight and mind
Your old room’s clean and open if you want it
And Bubba’s fridge is full of beer ’bout half the time

Bring it home, Carolina
Spanish leather don’t sit easy on a rolling stone
Bring it home, Carolina
Leave your banishment behind and let that banjo
Roll you baby on back home

Well you say you always knew you had it comin’
Livin’ outa that old guitar case way too long
You didn’t even have a good string left for strummin’
And your head stuck on some Ronnie Milsap song
With your trucker tricks you kept them big wheels pumpin’
And you found there just ain’t fuck all in the world to kill your pain
Somewhere along the way you just lost somethin’
Somewhere in that Smoky Mountain rain

Bring it home, Carolina
Spanish leather don’t sit easy on a rolling stone
Bring it home, Carolina
Leave your banishment behind and let that banjo
Roll you baby on back home, Carolina
Spanish leather don’t sit easy on a rolling stone
Bring it home, Carolina
Leave those Spanish boots behind and let that banjo
Roll you baby on back home
