and my heart beats faster to the slowly beating drum...
Every screen went bleeding through these paper walls,
and all the makeup in the work couldn't hide the scars,
i leave today, i'm packing light, a suitcase and toiletries,
the rolling hills and willow trees of carolina wait for me.
You never learned the rules of change since we were young,
this isn't school, boys don't insult the girls they like,
the taste of blood, the claim of love, these two on here will cease to be,
sprouting from your fists and tongue, this carolina waits for me.
Fields of grain go whipping by the window seat,
i'm drifting in, i'm drifting out, catching up on sleep,
i couldn't get indentured sense, the very crest of seventeen,
i left my keys and broken dreams, cause carolina waits for me.
I will never forgive a single day,
mile markers seem to call my name and say,
"you're safer now, in every town, we'll light your way in reflective gleam",
all the way, the entire state of carolina waits for me.
