I Remember Carolina

I remember Carolina

I remember taking turns

Each tearing up the other

With the prettiest of words

I remember back in Greenville

I saw a friend at the show

I remember Carolina

I remember being home

I remember California

San Francisco Bay

All my buddies live in Oakland

You know the arts don't pay

I remember up Fickle Hill

My heart felt at ease

I remember Humboldt County

Does it remember me?

I remember Montana

Always treating me fine

Driving up to Eureka

Polebridge on the 4th of July

Went on a bender in Bozeman

Sobered up in Hamilton

Fell in love with a fisherman

But it was catch and release

I remember Idaho

24 years old

Good family with a bad dog

Bit down to my bone

Pam Houston on the Selway

Daddy he said no

I remember learnin something

I remember Idaho

I remember seeing Dylan

He tipped his hat at me

I hitched a ride back to Boston

With the Twelve Tribes Community

I remember I was swimming

At Singing Beach

That's the last Massachusetts

Ever did for me

I remember Carolina

I remember California

I remember Montana

I remember Idaho

I remember Massachusetts

I remember being homesick

I don't know where my home is

I remember being free
