Zac Brown Band - Oh My Sweet Carolina lyrics

rate me

I went down to Houston

And I stopped in San 'Antone

I passed up the station for the bus

I was trying to find me something

But I wasn't sure just what

Man I ended up with pockets full of dust

And I went down to Cleveland, that's where I went insane

I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance

I was spending money like the way it likes to rain

Man I ended up with pockets full of cane

Oh my sweet Carolina

What compels me to go?

Oh my sweet disposition

May you one day carry me home

Never been to Vegas, but I gambled up my life

Though the newsprint boats are raced in sewer mains

Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what

Funny how they say that “some things never change”

Oh my sweet Carolina

What compels me to go?

Oh my sweet disposition

May you one day carry me home

And out here in the city seems like things are closing in

The sunset's just my light bulb burning out

I miss Kentucky and I miss my family

All the sweetest winds they blow across the South

Oh my sweet Carolina

What compels me to go?

Oh my sweet disposition

May you one day carry me home

May you one day carry me home.
