The Infamous Stringdusters - Pearl Of Carolina Lyrics

The Infamous Stringdusters Lyrics

"Pearl Of Carolina"

Down an old dirt road
Some forgotten street
Dust clouds rising up
From my dragging feet
Can't remember when
I last saw her face
Seems like such a waste

I left with no goodbye
Such a whirlwind rush
I don't remember why
Can't say I remember much
Doesn't seem to be
A reason to return
To bridges burned

I been walking day and night I'm dying on my feet
Too long since I've had a night of sleep
I can hear it calling me the love I've known
Come back home
Pearl of Carolina
Pearl of Carolina

Been a long time gone
Long time left to go
I'm not ready yet
But still I know
Days are getting short
Nights are getting cold
I'm growing old

Given up all I've owned
And everything I've gained
Of all I thought I wanted
Only this remains
Need to go and see the Pearl of Carolina shine
One more time

I been walking day and night I'm dying on my feet
Too long since I've had a night of sleep
I can hear it calling me the love I've known
Come back home
Pearl of Carolina
Pearl of Carolina

I been walking day and night I'm dying on my feet
Too long since I've had a night of sleep
I can hear it calling me the love I've known
Come back home
Pearl of Carolina
Pearl of Carolina
Pearl of Carolina
