Carolina Backroads
I'd only been here a short time
But I fared the winter well
The days alone at sea and the waiting on the hill
Left stories for me yet to tell
In the later part of '81 I came upon this land,
And I can't say that I ever felt alone
I found a life worth livin' and a people oh so givin'
A seed of southern life had been sown
Carolina backroads
You've seen the autumn in my eyes
A barren field and a gray weathered shack
Have seen a many old good-byes
Carolina backroads
You've seen it all right from the start
I've been through many things I still may not survive
But I won't make it through another broken heart
I've been away now for a long time
But the mem'ries take me home
The faces have all changed but the feeling still remains
And in my heart I know I still belong
Where the rivers meet the ocean and the mountains touch the sky
You can see how God has smiled upon this land
These Carolina backroads tell the story of my life
And they'll help me find my way back home again
Carolina backroads
You've seen the autumn in my eyes
A barren field and a gray weathered shack
Have seen a many old good-byes
Carolina backroads
You've seen it all right from the start
I've been through many things I still may not survive
But I won't make it through another broken heart
No, I won't make it through another broken heartâ¦
