Caroline

Now I met an old money, his mouth was made of trash

He liked to travel, but he don’t carry cash

It was five bones a day. That’s the price that he payed

And I made sure as hell he was dead to me

Now he had a girl, name of Caroline Pearl

And she was soft and sweet

She was made of salt and that weren’t her fault

And her hands were soft like slavery

I muscled white for your love

I tore down the night for your love

I broke the chains I broke the grave

I did it all for your love

She was heavy up top, that shows she sweetens her tea

I was showing my teeth that shows she’s sweet to me

And I struck the good book, with a double edged sword

God sent my mother, I don’t fight God no more

It was full steam ahead, land ho, is that Tennessee

I saw myself, hang myself up in the family tree

And you got to understand. It wasn’t part of the plan

You work a good job, and I work the land

I muscled white for your love

I tore down the night for your love

I broke the chains I broke the grave

I did it all for your love

Caroline, Caroline, Caroline, girl be mine

Now I went down to the southern most part of my life

I hit the ground I bit hard I broke the blade off the knife

I mined your face I searched your skin for something young

Some sort of trace some sort of sign

Man it was done. Caroline
