Pearl of Carolina Songtext
von The Infamous Stringdusters

Down an old dirt road, some forgotten street
Dust clouds risin′ up from my draggin' feet
I can′t remember when I last saw her face
Seems like such a waste

I left with no goodbye, such a whirlwind rush
I don't remember why, can't say I remember much
Doesn′t seem to be a reason to return
To bridges burned

I′ve been walkin' day and night, I′m dyin' on my feet
Too long since I′ve had a night of sleep
I can hear it callin' me, the love I′ve known
"Come back home"
Pearl of Carolina
Pearl of Carolina


Been a long time gone, long time left to go
I'm not ready yet, still I know
Days are gettin' short, the nights are gettin′ cold
I′m growin' old

Given up all I′ve owned and everything I've gained
Of all I thought I wanted only this remains
Need to go and see the Pearl of Carolina shine
One more time

I′ve been walkin' day and night, I′m dyin' on my feet
Too long since I've had a night of sleep
I can hear it callin′ me, the love I′ve known
"Come back home"
Pearl of Carolina
Pearl of Carolina

I've been walkin′ day and night, I'm dyin′ on my feet
Too long since I've had a night of sleep
I can hear it callin′ me, the love I've known
"Come back home"
Pearl of Carolina
Pearl of Carolina
