Oh My Sweet Carolina (Sprint’s live on the Riverfront – 2018) Songtext
von Kenny Mehler

I went down to Houston
And I stopped in San ′Antone
I passed up the station for the bus
I was trying to find me something
But I wasn't sure just what
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust

So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
I was spending money like the way it likes to rain
Man I ended up with pockets full of cane

Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day
Carry me home


I ain′t never been to Vegas
But I gambled up my life
Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains
Was trying to find me something
But I wasn't sure just what
Funny how they say
That some things never change

Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day
Carry me home

Up here in the city
Feels like things are closing in
The sunset's just my light bulb burning out
I miss Kentucky
And I miss my family
All the sweetest winds
They blow across the south

Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day
Carry me home
May you one day
Carry me home
