Buddy Cannon - Back to Caroline lyrics

[Verse 1] He said "The storm is gettin' stronger" As he climbed inside my truck "I'm headed back to Carolina God's will and any luck" An' he told me how he'd left his family So many years ago An' he'd seen the whole world on the shoulders But now it's time to go back home [Chorus 1] And he said "This road goes on forever I've been travelling all my life And I've seen the rain, I've felt the thunder But it never changed my mind I'm goin' back to Caroline" [Verse 2] I dropped him off, at the state line And then I thought about my life And everything I left behind me Two children and my wife I left them waitin' for a phone call And that was twenty days ago But now I'm in, for the long haul And it's time to go back home [Chorus 2] And this damn road keeps gettin' longer I've been travellin' it some time And I've seen the rain, I've felt the thunder roll on But it never changed my mind I'm goin' back to Caroline [Outro] Yeah, yeah, yeah Whoa Lord, I'm goin' back to Caroline Whoa-oh
