Going Back To Caroline

Going back to Caroline, going back to Caroline

Got a vision in my mind, just gotta take the time

Going back to Caroline

Two lanes cross the borderline two bored kids in the hot summertime

Relieve yourself on the side of the road, chain gangs and army convoys

Going back to Caroline

Eat a sandwich, take a nap,, watch for injuns, check the map

Bounce the rhythm of the road, no radio, dance to the music in your soul

Going back to Caroline

Car broke in a dusty town, parts in Raleigh, wait around

Board the train, head for home, get off, it's fixed, the families gone

Going back to Caroline

Unpack your bags, head to the beach, the ocean has a lot to teach

Hot dogs and heat, spit on the street sunburn, noxema sleep

Going back to Caroline

Silence is the night, the wave glow, keeping rhythm with your soul

Sit on the sand, await the sun, hit the water, watch the crabs run

a better wave is about to come

Nighttime falls, you do not care, whatever happens, no matter where

Sweep the floor for coins to pay, the liquor man not to say

too young for 3.2, run away

A girl sits smiling on the shore, the sky is dark, the ocean's roar

Cold and wet and fresh with dew, sleep til sunrise, awake as two

Gonna leaver her, Caroline

Lots of faces on the wall, he said he worked and knew them all

Back room of a country store, tall tales cover the dirt floor

almost famous before the fall

Harmony, but dad won't sing, seven sisters make it swing

The family drifter out to sea, never you and never me

You only get what you bring

Last trip back, the families gone, sat on the beach to write a song

The dance hall pier is coming down, battership guns fire without a sound

Still love that small town

Going back to Caroline, going back to Caroline

Got a vision in my mind, just gotta take the time

Going back to Caroline.

Music for a project "R.O.K.O.D.0.2." or perhaps the soundtrack for "The Last Set"?
