Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's always all the same
I wake up shoutin' out her name
But she can't hear me
She can't hear me anymore
Coffee and a cigarette
Hair of the dog ain't kicked in yet
But I'll get back to where I was before
[Chorus]
Carolina honey
All that I desire
Hold me to the fire
Take me even higher
[Verse 2]
Raleigh, you sure look fine
I hope that this won't be my last time
I been killin' myself
Slowly, slowly every day
Let me make love to your town
Let me die on Southern ground
Let me find somebody that makes me want to stay
[Chorus]
Carolina honey
All that I desire
Hold me to the fire, baby
Take me even higher
[Verse 3]
Heaven knows I need a light
Broken heart can't take one more fight
But I can outrun my demons one more night
Little bird, sing for me
Needed to hear her melody
Are we both fallin'
Or baby, is it just the wine?
[Chorus]
Carolina honey
All that I desire
Hold me to the fire, baby
Take me even higher
Carolina honey
All that I desire
Hold me to the fire, baby
Take me even higher than high, babe
Oh, yeah
