Carolina
Foothills Appalachia Have swallowed up my mind again The wind speaks in foreign tongue And only I can understand Her whisper when she beckons me To sell my soul to her poplar trees When I die I'll be in Carolina
I used to slave the city streets But who's name was I makin' It drove me into misery A state I hadn't chosen So I gave two weeks and I hung my tie Once a suit, now I'm naked I will die in peace in Carolina
I had a box where I kept my pain So it wouldn't weigh upon me I lugged it around all my days And I burned the golden screw key So I set off for the Outer Banks And watched by little box drift away I have found my peace in Carolina Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Disease got the best of me But I don't need your prayers My dear, it's not a tragedy 'Cause I am free as ever A passing life can be so sweet When my true north takes me out east I will die in peace in Carolina
The sting of death is dulcified When I am with my loved ones The dogs down here know my eyes They are my true companions They taught me to set fear aside And howl hallelu to the mountain night I will die in peace in Carolina
They taught me to set fear aside And howl hallelu to the mountain night I will die in peace in Carolina
