Carolina Heartache - The Blue Dogs

Carolina Heartache Lyrics

well i said goodbye to mother
and i packed away my old guitar
i gave the rest to my dear brother
and hit the road in his old car
i'll make it home someday
'cause you know they say
what goes around comes around
i've got a carolina heartache, and i'm california bound
well i was raised in south carolina
just this side of the georgia line
and the folks back home are finer
than the finest vintage wine
i left my love there
and she knows i care
but i had to beat that town
now i've got a carolina heartache, and i'm california bound
well i know the grass is greener
when you're on the losing side

and the miles i've put between us
don't seem to stop my pride
now the days have passed
and the memories last
but they just can't hide the sound
of my carolina heartache, and i'm california bound
well i know the grass is greener
when you're on the losing side
and the miles i've put between us
don't seem to hurt my pride
i'll make it home someday
because you know they say
what goes around comes around
there's no california heartache, cause i'm carolina bound
there's no california heartache, cause i'm carolina bound
