Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Down in Tennessee
Sits a girl alone
She sings along with her favorite songs on the radio
Only friends she sees
Are on TV
Magazines and movie stars are her only family
Yeah, they're all she needs
[Verse 2]
Carolina's so
Happy on the outside
She keeps frowning inside
[Verse 3]
In the Nashville sky
Shines a diamond bright
Carolina sells it for the boys, after midnight
She drifts off to sleep
And in her dreams
She lives in California, in a mansion by the sea
Yeah, that's who she could be
[Verse 4]
Carolina's so
Happy on the outside
She keeps frowning inside
[Verse 5]
Carolina's so
Happy on the outside
She keeps frowning inside
[Verse 6]
And then she wakes to find out
Her dream is real (It's real)
It's real (It's real)
It's real (It's real)
It's real
[Verse 7]
Carolina's so
Happy on the outside
And now, she's smiling inside
[Verse 8]
Smiling inside (Inside)
Smiling inside (Inside)
Smiling inside (Inside)
Smiling inside
