[Verse 1] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Yeah, the big time is everything I ever wanted But the spotlight can't hold a candle to you Standin' up there on that stage It might look like I got it made But my heart knows, it don't mean a thing without my Carolina Rose [Outro] No, it don't mean a thing without my Carolina Rose It don't mean a thing without my Carolina Rose
