Carolina
Carolina
© 2024 Barry Williams
Seems like I've always been a traveler,
spent most of my life out on the road,
with the days of my youth unraveled,
I came back to my sweet mountain home.
To Carolina
your Hollars hills hardwoods and pines
(Carolina)
like an old good friend of mine
Carolina, Carolina, Caroline
I wake up to the smell of the jasmine.
I watch as daybreak dances on the dew.
as the hills come alive, I imagine.
it's all God's creatures, saying I love you.
To Carolina
Your Hollars hills hardwoods and pines
(Carolina)
Like an old good friend of mine
Carolina, Carolina, Caroline
The road was long,
That brought me home.
It's where I'll stay,
Till they bury my bones.
In Carolina
your Hollars hills and pines.
(Carolina)
Like an old good friend of mine.
Carolina
Carolina, Carolina, Caroline
The road was long
That brought me home
It's where I'll stay
(Carolina)
Till they bury my bones
In Carolina, Carolina, Caroline.
I went searching,
For the end of the rainbow.
Just to find my pot of gold,
was here at home.
In Carolina
Carolina, Carolina,
Caroline

Love it! Got a great feel to it.
Makes me think of James Taylor, brought on by the name I'm sure, but it sure does feel like his style would suit it.
Good write Barry!

Tears, Barry, but in a good way. This is a really sweet lyric through and through; very touching. A lyric which truly stands on its' own begging to go to song.
Keep 'em comin', Cowboy,

Thank you RDM, yeah I kinda hear it the same way, maybe more of a Appalachian folksy kinda way.
Thank you Renee, I wrote this after we moved to NC for a job that ended up not working out, but I absolutely loved it there, hopefully I've expressed that with my words.1 -
@Barry yes, you have expressed your love for Carolina very well; with all your heart! Caroline's (if that's what they call ya's) will appreciate the song very much as well as the rest of us!

Cove, yeah man, I've spent a fair amount of time in northern Alabama, Northern Georgia, and the Carolinas, I feel like that's my happy place.
Chris, I agree with you RDM made it real for me too.
