Jamey Johnson Back To Caroline Lyrics

Back To Caroline Lyrics

He said, “The storm is gettin' stronger�

As he climbed inside my truck

I'm headed back to Carolina

God's willin' an' he learned



An' he told me how he'd left his family

So many years ago

An' he'd seen the whole world on the shoulders

But now it's time to go back home



An' he said, “This road goes on forever

I've been travellin' all my life

An' I've seen the rain, I've felt the thunder

But it never changed my mind

I'm goin' back to Caroline�



I dropped him off at the State line

An' then I thought about my life

An' everything I left behind me

Two children an' my wife



I left 'em waitin' for a phone call

An' that was twenty days ago

But now I'm in it for the long-haul

An' it's time to go back home



An' this damn road keeps gettin' longer

I've been travellin' it some time

An' I've seen the rain, I've felt the thunder roll on

But it never changed my mind

I'm goin' back to Caroline



Yeah, yeah, whoa, Lord

I'm going back to Caroline

Whoa, oh
