"Carolina Heart" lyrics

She was only sixteen when she started
Breakin' hearts on summer breaks in the Outer Banks
I was workin' for her dad in Charlotte
I never saw a single beach, but I can still see her face

And now I'm back again
'Cross the border over from TN
A taste of summer on the salty wind
I think about her and what could've been
I should've said

Come on, baby, before you rip me apart
Could you find a little lovin' in your Carolina heart?
If it ain't me, who's gonna play that part?
Could you find a little lovin' in your Carolina heart?
Come on, baby

Now she's twenty-nine, a lawyer up in Chapel Hill
In another league, but she's killin' 'em just the same
And I pull into Durham with the Bonnevilles
I ask around and they all know her by her name

And here I go again
Reminiscin' while I sip some Jim
Some liquid courage for the shape I'm in
This might be the only chance I get
I'm goin' in

Come on, baby, before you rip me apart
Could you find a little lovin' in your Carolina heart?
If it ain't me, who's gonna play that part?
Could you find a little lovin' in your Carolina heart?
Come on, baby

Said I need you out in Raleigh, baby, I ain't sorry
Waited all night up in Chapel Hill
Drove back out to Charlotte, home is where the heart is
Don't you know I love you and I always will?
Come on, baby
Come on, baby
