Lyrics

[Verse 1] Headed south to Asheville town We stumble down the mountain Singin' 'Oh, don't you remember The Lonesome River Band?' No way back to Winston-Salem Engine failin' You were playin' a song I didn't remember And I couldn't understand [Pre-Chorus] And just before the chorus Nantahala forest Pine and promise And oh, now, please don't let me down But you were bound for Johnson City Sounds so pretty Here's a bit of you I didn't understand I'm only hearing now When you sang [Chorus] Carolina, I'm inclined to leave you And never come back Carolina, I'm inclined to go Carolina, take the time to know me 'Cause I never knew ya Know me Whatever is left to know [Verse 2] Searchin' for the lost horizon Sleepin' through the Blue Ridge risin' Oh, don't you remember? We didn't get too far Passed the night in restless dreaming I never guessed that you were leavin' Oh, tellin' me the future On a little Swiss guitar [Pre-Chorus] And just before the chorus Nantahala forest Pine and promise Oh now, please play it one more time But you were bound for Johnson City Sounds so pretty Here's the pity: I didn't understand I never heard goodbye When you sang [Chorus] Carolina, I'm inclined to leave you And never come back Carolina, I'm inclined to go Carolina, take the time to know me 'Cause I never knew ya Know me Whatever is left to know [Chorus] Carolina, I'm inclined to leave you (Carolina, I'm inclined) And never come back Carolina, I'm inclined to go Carolina, take the time to know me (Carolina, take the time) 'Cause I never knew ya Know me Whatever is left to know [Outro] Ooh Ooh
