Oh My Sweet Carolina
Wanderlust Melodies: A Journey Through Life's Dust and Rain
Lyrics
Well I went down to Houston and I stopped in San Antone
Traveled to Houston and stopped in San Antone
I passed up the station for the bus
Skipped the bus station, uncertain about destination
Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
Searching for something undefined
I ended up with pockets full of dust
Ended up with empty or unfulfilling results
So I went on to Cleveland and ended up insane
Traveled to Cleveland, experienced mental distress
Bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
Bought a borrowed suit, learned to dance
I was spending money like the way it likes to rain
Spent money recklessly like rain
And I ended up with pockets full of 'caine
Ended up with pockets full of cocaine
Oh my sweet Carolina
Expressing a connection or sentiment towards Carolina
What compels me to go?
Questioning the motivation to leave
Oh my sweet disposition
Describing a sweet disposition or character
May you one day carry me home
Hope for Carolina to eventually be a comforting home
I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life
Never been to Vegas but took risks in life
Building news print boats I raced to sewer mains
Built boats from newsprint, engaged in unconventional pursuits
I was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
Continued search for an undefined purpose
Funny how they say that some things never change
Reflecting on the constancy of certain things
Oh my sweet Carolina
Reiterating the emotional connection to Carolina
What compels me to go?
Pondering the driving force behind the desire to leave
Oh my sweet disposition
Reaffirming the sweet and positive nature of the relationship with Carolina
May you one day carry me home
Expressing the hope that Carolina will be a final destination
Up here in the city it feels like things are closing in
Feeling confined in the city, a sense of closure
The sunset's just my light bulb burning out
Metaphorically, the end of a phase with the sunset as a burning light bulb
I miss Kentucky and I miss my family
Longing for Kentucky and family
All the sweetest winds they blow across the south
Yearning for the familiar and comforting winds of the south
Oh my sweet Carolina
Reiterating the emotional connection to Carolina
What compels me to go?
Questioning the motivation to leave once again
Oh my sweet disposition
Reaffirming the sweet and positive nature of the relationship with Carolina
May you one day carry me home
Expressing the hope that Carolina will be a final and comforting destination
May you one day carry me home
Repeating the desire for Carolina to be a final and comforting home
