The Coast Of Carolina

The Coast Of Carolina

There’s a storm out on the ocean Board the windows and the doors It’s sixty miles away
Blowin’ fifty miles or more
This is gonna be a bad one Is what the TV people say
Guess there ain’t much more to do now But hunker down and pray

On the coast of Carolina
From Charleston to the Pamlico
Water is gonna rise
The wind is gonna blow
It will get worse before its better
Out here on the shore
On the coast of Carolina
Gonna ride it out once more

We built this house
With our own hands
It’s all we’ve ever known
And it don’t look like much to loose
But it’s all we’ve ever owned
No matter what will happen
Whatever storms might come our way
We’re gonna hold on to each other
And hope there’ll be a better day

On the coast of Carolina
From Charleston to the Pamlico
Water’s gonna rise
The wind is gonna blow
It will get worse before it’s better
Out here on the shore
On the coast of Carolina
Gonna ride it out once more
Here on the coast of Carolina we’re gonna ride it out once more
