Now I met an old money, his mouth was made of trash.
He liked to travel, but he donât carry cash.
It was five bones a day. Thatâs the price that he payed.
And I made sure as hell he was dead to me.
Now he had a girl, name of Caroline Pearl.
And she was soft and sweet.
She was made of salt and that werenât her fault.
And her hands were soft like slavery.
I muscled white for your love.
I tore down the night for your love.
I broke the chains I broke the grave.
I did it all for your love.
She was heavy up top, that shows she sweetens her tea.
I was showing my teeth that shows sheâs sweet to me.
And I struck the good book, with a double edged sword.
God sent my mother, I donât fight God no more.
It was full steam ahead, land ho, is that Tennessee,
I saw myself, hang myself up in the family tree.
And you got to understand. It wasnât part of the plan.
You work a good job, and I work the land.
I muscled white for your love.
I tore down the night for your love.
I broke the chains I broke the grave.
I did it all for your love.
Caroline, Caroline, Caroline. Girl be mine.
Now I went down to the southern most part of my life.
I hit the ground I bit hard I broke the blade off the knife.
I mined your face I searched your skin for something young.
Some sort of trace some sort of sign.
Man it was done. Caroline
Carolineâ¦â¦
