Back to Caroline Lyrics

He said the storm is getting stronger
As he climbed inside my truck
I'm headed back to Carolina
God's will and any luck
He told me how he'd left his family
So many years ago
And he'd seen the whole world on the shoulders
But now it's time to go back home

And he said this road go on forever
I've been travelin' all my life
And I've seen the rain, I've felt the thunder
But it never changed my mind
I'm going back to Caroline

I dropped him off at the state line
And then I thought about my life
And everything I left behind me
Two children and my wife
I left him waiting for a phone call
And that was twenty days ago
But now I'm in for the long haul
And it's time to go back home

And this damn road keeps getting longer
I've been travelin' it some time
And I've seen the rain, I felt the thunder roll on
But it never changed my mind
I'm going back to Caroline
I'm going back to Caroline
