"Hey Carolina" lyrics

There's a little town just outside of Charlestown
that we talked about for years
I always said we'd start a better life down there
forget about here
This flatland wind is bound to blow you somewhere
if you ain't hangin' on
Now, I always thought we'd fly away together
but I guess I was wrong

Cause you beat me to the punch
Last I heard, someone else did too

Hey Carolina
I never needed you anyway
and the February weather's nice in Kansas
and I'm really okay
Well, I hope he makes you happy
and I wish you both the best
and it really feels good
to get all this off my chest
Hey Carolina
I never needed you anyway

Well, I joined the gospel choir down at church
bought me an electric guitar
I'm learning all them old Johnny Cash songs
makin' new friends at the bar

I saw a movie on the TV
late the other night
Saw a pretty girl under a palm tree
but you never crossed my mind

Hey Carolina
I never needed you anyway
the February weather's nice in Kansas
and I'm really okay
Well, I hope he makes you happy
and I wish you both the best
and it really feels good
to get all this off my chest
Hey Carolina
I never needed you anyway

Well, I hope all your wildest dreams have come true
Yeah, I hope it's everything you'd thought it be
and everytime he wraps his arms around you
I hope you don't think of me

Hey Carolina
I never needed you anyway
the February weather's nice in Kansas
and I'm really okay

Hey Carolina
I never needed you anyway (Hey Carolina)
Sometimes I think I'd like to see ya but then again
I wouldn't have much to say (Hey Carolina)

Hey Carolina
I never needed you anyway (Hey Carolina)
Hey Carolina
Just go ahead and stay
Hey Carolina
I never needed you anyway
Hey Carolina
