Oh My Sweet Carolina

[Verse 1] I went down to Houston And I stopped in San Antone I passed up the station for the bus I was trying to find me something But I wasn't sure just what Man, I ended up with pockets full of dust And I went down to Cleveland, that's where I went insane I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance I was spending money like the way it likes to rain Man, I ended up with pockets full of cane [Chorus] Oh, my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh, my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home [Verse 2] Never been to Vegas, but I gambled up my life Though the newsprint boats are raced in sewer mains Was trying to find me something But I wasn't sure just what Funny how they say that some things never change [Chorus] [Verse 3] And out here in the city seems like things are closing in The sunset's just my light bulb burning out I miss Kentucky and I miss my family All the sweetest winds they blow across the South [Chorus]
