Road To No Return-carolina Lyrics

Road To No Return-carolina lyrics

Out along the road to no return

Silence rules the day and knows no friend

The troubled past and all her tribe adjourn

To watch your dreams unravel in the wind



Chorus

But each new morning sunrise 

Is just as good as gold

And all the hope inside you 

Will keep you from the cold    

Bare your soul let your spirit burn 

Out along the road to no return



The sweet smell of nighttime rides on the breeze

The river is winding through the hickory trees

The redbones are howling down by Wilson's Bridge

The lawmen stand waiting upon Deadman's Ridge



Chorus

Ooh Carolina so dark I can't see

Ooh Carolina won't you let me go free



I came here with Lily a year just last fall

We left her old daddy back in Oonegal

We made us a home place of Black Mountain stone

But one cold winter morning I woke up alone



Chorus



Days full of silence are so incomplete

Nights without Lily I took to the streets

And in the streets of Asheville I channeled my pain

'Til one raging black night I slept in the rain



I dreamed of a refuge a red velvet world

And I swore my sweet Lily was one of the girls

I loved her so madly I loved her so long

I woke with my dream girl but her life was all gone



Chorus



Love has no boundary sorrow no end

And the lawmen of Asheville have no mercy in them



Chorus



Let me reach Tennessee
