Gloriana - Carolina Rose lyrics

rate me

Ever since we took that midnight drive

Down to see the water in the full moon sky

And I told you I loved you on the blue creek road

Well I was pullin on forward for my Carolina Rose

Spent the next few years just singing my song

With Rose in the front row singing along

Til I got that call, had to hit that road

Man, how am I gonna leave my Carolina Rose

Yeah the big time is everything I ever wanted

But the spotlight can't hold a candle to you

Standing up here on this stage, they all say “man, you got it made”

They don't know, it don't mean a thing without my Carolina Rose

Met a California girl on a west coast run

She sparkled like a diamond in the setting sun

They called me crazy when I let her go

I just couldn't stop thinking about my Carolina Rose

Yeah the big time is everything I ever wanted

But the spotlight can't hold a candle to you

Standing up here on this stage

They all say, “man, you got it made”

They don't know, it don't mean a thing without my Carolina Rose

I've been halfway around the world

Just to come back to you

I hope I ain't too late

And I hope that you're still thinking about me too

So now I'm back here standing on your front porch

It's been five years baby, but it feels like more

Well let me drive you down that blue creek road

I got something to say to my Carolina Rose

Yeah the big time is everything I ever wanted

But the spotlight can't hold a candle to you

Standing up there on that stage, you might look like you got it made

But my heart knows, it don't mean a thing without my Carolina Rose

No it don't mean a thing without my Carolina rose

It don't mean a thing without my Carolina rose
