The stars are shinin' in the Carolina night Or is it just the cabins lightin' up the mountainside Where lovers sleep like silver spoons Under the Cherokee moon If I said I'm sorry it wouldn't be enough I know you're unhappy, I know times are tough Listen to the old coyote's croon Under the Cherokee moon The trailer parks on fire, the dogs out on the road And if you don't stop drinkin' your whole world might explode
