Matt Stillwell Oh My Sweet Carolina song lyrics

Well, I went down to Houston, stopped in San Antone

And I passed up the station for the bus

I was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what

And then I ended up with pockets full of dust

So I went on to Cleveland and ended up insane

I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance

And I was spending money like the way it likes to rain

And then I ended up with pockets full of cane

Oh, my sweet Carolina

What compels me to go?

Oh, my sweet disposition

May you one day carry me home

I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled all my life

Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains

And I was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what

Funny how they say that some things never change

Oh, my sweet Carolina

What compels me to go?

Oh, my sweet disposition

May you one day carry me home

Well, up here in the city feels like things are closing in

The sunset's just my light bulb burning out

And I miss Karlovy and I miss my family

All the sweetest winds they blow across the south

Oh, my sweet Carolina

What compels me to go?

Oh, my sweet disposition

May you one day carry me home

May you one day carry me home
