Carolina's Arms

As I watched that North Carolina bound bus roll away
I wondered if there was anything I could have done to make you stay
Now the dust is barely settled on this little, Ozark town
And I wonder how long this loneliness will last
And when you’ll be back around

I guess those Carolina mountains hold more that what I do
But I do wish they’d share just a little more of you
In my dreams, you turn around and come right back
So I can hold you tight
But you’re in Carolina’s arms tonight

I’m still waiting for the day when again you’ll pass through
You might be surprised to find that my love still belongs to you
But when you go, you’ll never know this pain you leave behind
You break my heart a little more each time you leave for Caroline

I guess those Carolina mountains hold more that what I do
But I do wish they’d share just a little more of you
In my dreams, you turn around and come right back
So I can hold you tight
But you’re in Carolina’s arms tonight

In my dreams, you turn around and come right back
So I can hold you tight
But you’re in Carolina’s arms tonight
