Back to Caroline Lyrics by Jamey Johnson

The Dollar

2006

[Verse 1]
He said "The storm is gettin' stronger"
As he climbed inside my truck
"I'm headed back to Carolina
God's will and any luck"
An' he told me how he'd left his family
So many years ago
An' he'd seen the whole world on the shoulders
But now it's time to go back home
[Chorus 1]
And he said "This road goes on forever
I've been travelling all my life
And I've seen the rain, I've felt the thunder
But it never changed my mind
I'm goin' back to Caroline"
[Verse 2]
I dropped him off, at the state line
And then I thought about my life
And everything I left behind me
Two children and my wife
I left them waitin' for a phone call
And that was twenty days ago
But now I'm in, for the long haul
And it's time to go back home
[Chorus 2]
And this damn road keeps gettin' longer
I've been travellin' it some time
And I've seen the rain, I've felt the thunder roll on
But it never changed my mind
I'm goin' back to Caroline
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoa Lord, I'm goin' back to Caroline
Whoa-oh
