Conway Twitty - Lay Me Down Carolina lyrics

rate me

I can hear the rain a-tappin' on a tin roof down in Charlotte.<br />

It's Sunday morning what a peaceful sound.<br />

The closest thing to being there is looking through the pictures.<br />

Worn and wrinkled from bein' lost and found.<br />

<br />

The geese are flyin' south it must be winter in Vancouver.<br />

The fallin' leaves, the seasons come and go.<br />

The years are rolling by and I'm runnin' on a memory.<br />

But lately I've been runnin' kind of low.<br />

<br />

Lay me down Carolina, let me rest my weary bones.<br />

In a world so full of people why do I feel alone?<br />

Lift me up, give me direction 'til I know I'm homeward bound.<br />

Lay Me Down Carolina, lay me down.<br />

<br />

Life may take you anywhere and leave you cold and stranded.<br />

But somehow love will always take you home.<br />

Like roots the winding river's all run back to Carolina<br />

And like a ship I'm drifting too far from the shore.<br />

<br />

Lay me down Carolina let me rest my weary bones.<br />

In a world so full of people why do I feel alone?<br />

Lift me up, give me direction 'til I know I'm homeward bound<br />

And lay me down Carolina, lay me down.<br />

<br />

Carolina let me rest my weary bones.<br />

In a world so full of people why do I feel alone?<br />

Lift me up, give me direction 'til I know I'm homeward bound.<br />

And lay me down Carolina, lay me down...
