3 AM in Carolina Songtext
von Darius Rucker

It′s midnight in California
Been drinkin' all day with my friends
We met a group of pretty girls from Georgia
A couple guys from Amsterdam
It was all night or use my discretion
So I slipped out and slipped on home
I was just gonna leave you a message
But I was so damn glad you picked up the phone, ′cause

Right now, I'm spinnin' like a barstool
Right now, I′m missin′ your pretty smile
In the back of a cab in the carpool lane
Goin' insane ′cause it's been a while
Since I told you that I love you, and I still do
Wish I was layin′ right beside ya
Just had to let you know, but I'll let you go
I know it′s 3 a.m. in Carolina


Since I got you, there's some things that I wanna say
I didn't wanna leave you, didn′t make me wanna stay
Don′t get me wrong, I made you cry more than I made you laugh
If I didn't, I wouldn′t be here saying that

Right now, I'm spinnin′ like a barstool
Right now, I'm missin′ your pretty smile
In the back of a cab in the carpool lane
Goin' insane 'cause it′s been a while
Since I told you that I love you, and I still do
Wish I was layin′ right beside ya
Just had to let you know, but I'll let you go
I know it′s 3 a.m. in Carolina
Oh, 3 a.m. in Carolina
Oh yeah, now

Right now, I'm wantin′ you so bad
Right now, I really wanna change my life
Right now, I'm thinkin′ 'bout takin' that
Get you back on the next LAX red-eye flight


Right now, I′m spinnin′ like a barstool
Right now, I'm missin′ your pretty smile
In the back of a cab in the carpool lane
Goin' insane ′cause it's been a while
Since I told you that I love you, and I still do
Wish I was layin′ right beside ya
Just had to let you know, but I'll let you go
I know it's 3 a.m. in Carolina
It′s 3 a.m. in Carolina
Yeah

It′s midnight in California
I've been drinkin′ all day with my friends now, oh
