Lyrics
Goodbye Carolina
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I dreamed of the day when I'd hold you in my arms again
Read you all the letters I wrote but never sent
Give you all the pieces of me
To put 'em back together
Put them back together again
Life has a way of writing your story for you
And the hero doesn't always get his girl
What if you could change the ending to the novel they been writing
Leave no resolution
So, Goodbye Carolina, searched my whole life to find you
I hate to leave you but I hope you'll know
Where I'm going I'll be seeing you
So hold my hand as I'm leaving
Hoped my pain would be enough reason
I'll see you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky
But now I'm going
Hate to tell you goodbye
Say it takes a selfish man to leave on out from his old hometown
Without saying why he's going
But you can come take the rest of me
Early in the morning
Tell me your goodbyes
Where I'm going I won't have these reminders of what I lost
What was taken away from me
And I hope you'll understand I was a broken man in my own hometown
Need to find my own peace
So, Goodbye Carolina, searched my whole life to find you
I hate to leave you but I hope you'll know
Where I'm going I'll be seeing you
So hold my hand as I'm leaving
Hoped my pain would be enough reason
I'll see you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky
But now I'm going
Hate to tell you goodbye
So goodbye Carolina, searched my whole life to find you
I hate to leave you but I hope you'll know
Where I'm going I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you
