Carolina (2005) Lyrics

Corey Smith Carolina (2005)

Me and you in a midnight blue, ’82 Camaro
Crossin’ over the Hartwell bridge movin’ fast as she would go
Windows down, radio up, we were singin’ “Freebird”
Flyin’ up to your daddy’s cabin just outside of Spartanburg

Do you remember the way you looked at me back then
Two hungry eyes wrapped up in a smile so innocent
It all makes one hell of a reminder
Keeps me cryin’ Carolina

We had a hotel room with a harbor view and a bottle of Chianti
That spring break in Charleston, it keeps comin’ back to haunt me
Took a carriage ride to the battery, toasted shots above the water
Then stumbled ‘cross the cobblestone, hands holdin’ us together

Do you remember the way we carried on
Blew all our money and we had to starve the whole way home
It all makes one hell of a reminder
Keeps me cryin’ Carolina

I can’t let it go, no I can’t let it go
I don’t wanna’ let go, oh no it feels too far away
Do you remember the single bed that we slept in
When I’d ride up to Clemson and hide in your room the whole weekend
It all makes one hell of a reminder
Keeps me cryin’ Carolina
