Carolina Blue

No, I can't lie them downtown lights

And that skyline caught my eye for a minute

Been working too much, not living enough

I guess I just got caught up in it

Yeah, I could really use a slow-down

And I bet back home right now

Well, that sun's probably setting down up over that ridge

Bet Mama's got something cooking on the stove

And Dad's out back, hooking up that boat to that hitch

'Cause in the morning he's hitting our honey hole

Wish I was sitting on that back porch

Rocking back and forth and talking like we always do

Yeah, I'm doing fine, but tonight I'm kinda Carolina blue

If I left right now, in four or five hours

Well, I'd be turning down that gravel drive

Yeah, but I'm sitting here in Tennessee, sipping on this whiskey

Wishing it was Smokey Mountain shine

Well, that sun's probably setting down up over that ridge

Bet Mama's got something cooking on the stove

And Dad's out back, hooking up that boat to that hitch

'Cause in the morning he's hitting our honey hole

Wish I was sitting on that back porch

Rocking back and forth and talking like we always do

Yeah, I'm doing fine, but tonight I'm kinda Carolina blue

Oh, Carolina blue

I don't make it back as much as I'd like

But it's always on my mind

That sun's probably setting down up over that ridge

Bet Mama's got something cooking on the stove

Daddy's hooking up that boat to that hitch

'Cause in the morning he's hitting our honey hole

Wish I was sitting on that back porch

Rocking back and forth and talking like we always do

Yeah, I'm doing fine, but tonight I'm kinda Carolina blue

In my mind, I'm gonna Carolina

Mmm, Carolina blue

In my mind, I'm gonna Carolina
