Carolina I Hear You Calling

One of the memories that stays on my mind

About an old southern lady that I left behind

Is a ramshackle bridge where the deep river winds

And an old two-lane blacktop through the tall long-leaf pinesCarolina, Carolina

You're hard, but you're hard to forgetI still remember the magnolia nights

And goose feather snow in the gray morning light

Sand spurs and puppies and red autumn leaves

And warm lights in the clear night on a cold Christmas EveCarolina, Carolina

You're hard, but you're hard to forgetCarolina, I knew you before the highways got to you

And I loved you as one of your own

And I still doCarolina, Carolina

You're hard, but you're hard to forget

You're hard to forget
