Carolina Child Lyrics by Ric Robertson

Carolina Child

0

[Verse 1]
Carolina child, keep me lush and low
Made of the mountain, bound for the shore
When the winds of worry brush against my dreams
Muddy creeks are yours for finding
Fallen trees yours for the climbing
Where you're gonna wind up, I don't know
Running with no place to go
[Verse 2]
Carolina child at the candy store
Sweet tooth achin', coming back for more
You've had your fill now, but it won't be long
Highs are sinking lower down
The crash will keep you on the ground
You never needed wings to help you soar
Running with no place to go
[Outro]
I still hear you crying
It's best you don't yet know
In time you're gonna find that
Everybody's in this thing alone
Running with no place to go
Singing loud when no one's home
Carolina child, keep me lush and low
