Girl in Carolina Written by: Jeff Givens I'm here in Chicago, loaded up to leave I've got boots, guitars, and whiskey, that's all I ever need I'm grabbing gears in Gary, here on 80 east There's a Girl in Carolina, and she's waiting up for me Through the coal mines of Kentucky, to Nashville Tennessee Like the spanish moss I'm hangin', somewhere in between I'm gonna take her to Savannah, down on River street There's a Girl in Carolina, and she's waiting up for me CHORUS: Why does she wait, wait up for my call Why does she wait, knowing I'm long gone One more cheap hotel room, never bothered me There's a Girl in Carolina, and she's waiting up for me I wanna see Rock City, wanna see Ruby Falls I'm north of Chattanooga, still Carolina calls I could've been on Lookout mountain, seven states to see And there's a Girl in Carolina, and she's waiting up for me BRIDGE: This old boy's been so lonely, but not lonely like now There's been so many before you, but the thing that makes me want you Keeps me from turning around We're gonna take a walk together, in the winter on the beach I know happiness is fleeting, and it's always out of reach She leads me to the darkness, so dark that I can't see And there's a Girl in Carolina, and she ain't no good for me
