Intro Verse Headed South to Asheville town, we stumble down the mountain singing Oh, don't you remember the lonesome river bed. No way back to Windston Salem, Engine Failing, You were playing a song I didn't remember and I couldn't understand. And just before the Chorus and a hail of forest pine and promise No now please don't let me down. Well you were bound for Johnson city, sounds so pretty, here's the pity: Oh, I didn't understand, I'm only hearing now. You said 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 you Know me, whatever is left to know Verse Searching for the lost horizon seeping through the blue ridge rising Oh, don't you remember, we didn't get too far. Past the night in restless dreaming, I never guessed that you were leaving Oh, tellin' me the future on a little Swiss guitar. Just before the Chorus and a hail of forest, keep your promise, No now, please play one more time. You were bound for Johnson city, sounds so pretty, here's the pity: Oh, I didn't understand, I never heard goodbye. When you said 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 you Know me, whatever is left to know Ending 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 you Know me, whatever is left to know Oooooooooohhh Oooooooooohhh
