Carolina Sözleri

1, 2, 3

Every scream went bleeding through these paper walls

And all the make up in the world couldn't hide the scars

I leave today

I'm packing light, a suitcase and toiletries

The rolling hills and willow trees

Of Carolina wait for me

You never learned the rules have changed since we were 9

This isn't school, boys don't assault the girls they like

The taste of blood

The claim of love

These two will here on cease to be

Sprouting from your fists and tongue

As Carolina waits for me

Fields of grain go whipping by from the window seat

I'm drifting in, I'm drifting out

Catching up on sleep

I couldn't get indentured sins, the very crest of 17

I left my keys and broken dreams

'Cause Carolina waits for me

I will never forgive a single day

Mile markers seem to call my name and say,

"You're safer now

Through every town

We'll light your way in reflective green."

All the way the entire state of Carolina waits for me.
