Oh My Sweet Carolina

Oh My Sweet Carolina - Ryan Adams

I went down to Houston

I stopped in San Antone

I passed up the station for the bus

I was trying to find me something

I wasn't sure just what

Man I ended up with pockets full of dust

So I went on to Cleveland ended up insane

I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance

I was spending money like the way it likes to rain

Nood I ended up with pockets full of cane

Oh my sweet Carolina

What compels me to go

Oh my sweet disposition

May you one day carry me home

I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life

Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains

Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what

Funny how they say that some things never change

Oh my sweet Carolina

What compels me to go

Oh my sweet disposition

May you one day carry me home

Up here in the city feels like things are closing in

The sunsets just my light bulb burning out

I miss kentucky and I miss my family

All the sweetest winds they blow across the south

Oh my sweet Carolina

What compels me to go

Oh my sweet disposition

May you one day carry me home

May you one day carry me home
