Lyrics

[Verse 1] So I went down to Houston and I stopped in San Anton' I passed up the station for the bus I was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what And I ended up with pockets full of dust So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance I was spending money like the way it likes to rain And 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] I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled all my life Making newsprint boats I race to 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] Oh, my sweet Carolina What compels me to go Oh, my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home [Verse 3] Up here in the city it feels 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] Oh, my sweet Carolina What compels me to go Oh, my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home May you one day carry me home May you one day carry me home [Outro] Thank you Thank you very much
