Oh, Carolina creeks running through my veins
Lost I was born, lonesome I came
Lonesome I'll always stay
Carolina knows why, for years, I roam
Free as these birds, light as whispers
Carolina knows
[Pre-Chorus]
And you didn't see me here
No, they never did see me here
And she's in my dreams
[Chorus]
Into the mist, into the clouds
Don't leave
