Carolina Can

It was layin' pennies on the rail's and

Sneaking off to chew Red Man

It was a Friday night win

Followed by a Saturday bruise

It was a first Blue Ribbon my dad and I drank

Baptized on Glenville Lake

A tear in her eyes

The night we lost all we had to lose

That tobacco town where I grew up

A tailgate down on a jacked up truck

A ring we earned 'cause we owned that state

A tombstone with my daddy's name

Now, the six-string dream on a crazy course

Has got my compass losing North

And I need someone to remind me who I am

Oh, Carolina can

It was faded blue denim on Franklin Street

A" He's not" buzz, a house band beat

It was a summer heat draggin' me

To a fifth year fall

It was classes skipped

'Cause the room couldn't teach

What we learned three days on Wrightsville Beach

With my high school love, short hair

And that sweet hometown southern drawl

That tobacco town where I grew up

A tailgate down on a jacked up truck

A ring we earned 'cause we owned that state

A tombstone with my daddy's name

Now, the six string dream on a crazy course

Has got my compass losing North

And I need someone to remind me who I am

Yeah, Carolina can

Carolina can

Now, two times on's ten states away

Another night, another show to play

Oh hey, Mister Taylor, she ain't only on your mind

That tobacco town where I grew up

A tailgate down on a jacked up truck

A ring we earned 'cause we owned that state

A tombstone with my daddy's name

The six-string dream on a crazy course

Has got my compass losing North

And I need someone to remind me who I am

Yeah, when I need someone to remind me who I am

Yeah, Carolina can

Carolina can

Carolina can
