Coast of Carolina

Little roadside restaurant, we artfully complain

Groovy tells the waitress that his chicken died in vain

Most every day goes by according to design

I live this dream but still it seems I have you on my mind

From the bottom of my heart, off the coast of Carolina

After one or two false starts, I believe we've found our stride

And the walls that won't come down, we can decorate or climb

Or find some way to get around, 'cause I'm still on your side

From the bottom of my heart

I can't see the future, but I know it's coming fast

It's not that hard to wind up knee-deep in the past

It's come a lot of Mondays since the phone booth that first night

The years, the miles, the tears and smiles, I want to get it right

From the bottom of my heart, off the coast of Carolina

After one or two false starts, I believe we've found our stride

And the walls that won't come down, we can decorate or climb

Or find some way to get around, 'cause I'm still on your side

From the bottom of my heart

These days I'm up about the time I used to go to bed

Living large was once the deal, now I watch the stars instead

They're timeless and predictable, unlike most things that I do

But I'd tell the wind and my old friend, I'm headed home to you

From the bottom of my heart, off the coast of Carolina

After one or two false starts, I believe we've found our stride

And the walls that won't come down, hell, we can decorate or climb

Or find some way to get around, 'cause I'm still on your side

From the bottom of my heart

From the bottom of my heart
