"Carolina Blue" lyrics

No, I can't lie them downtown lights
And that skyline caught my eye for a minute
Been working too much, not living enough
I guess I just got caught up in it
Yeah, I could really use a slow-down
And I bet back home right now

Well, that sun's probably setting down up over that ridge
Bet Mama's got something cooking on the stove
And Dad's out back, hooking up that boat to that hitch
'Cause in the morning he's hitting our honey hole
Wish I was sitting on that back porch
Rocking back and forth and talking like we always do
Yeah, I'm doing fine, but tonight I'm kinda Carolina blue

If I left right now, in four or five hours
Well, I'd be turning down that gravel drive
Yeah, but I'm sitting here in Tennessee, sipping on this whiskey
Wishing it was Smokey Mountain shine

Well, that sun's probably setting down up over that ridge
Bet Mama's got something cooking on the stove
And Dad's out back, hooking up that boat to that hitch
'Cause in the morning he's hitting our honey hole
Wish I was sitting on that back porch
Rocking back and forth and talking like we always do
Yeah, I'm doing fine, but tonight I'm kinda Carolina blue
Oh, Carolina blue

I don't make it back as much as I'd like
But it's always on my mind

That sun's probably setting down up over that ridge
Bet Mama's got something cooking on the stove
Daddy's hooking up that boat to that hitch
'Cause in the morning he's hitting our honey hole
Wish I was sitting on that back porch
Rocking back and forth and talking like we always do
Yeah, I'm doing fine, but tonight I'm kinda Carolina blue
In my mind, I'm gonna Carolina
Mmm, Carolina blue
In my mind, I'm gonna Carolina
