well i went down to houston
and i stopped in san antone
i passed up the station for the bus
was trying to find me something
but i wasn't sure just what
and i ended up with pockets
full of dust.

so i went on to cleveland
and i ended up insane
bought a borrowed suit
and learned to dance
i was spending money
like the way it likes to rain
man i ended up with pockets
full of cain.

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 up my life
building news print boats
i raced in sewer mains
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.

up here in the city
it feels like things are closin' in
the sunset's just my light bulb burnin' out
i miss kentucky
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.
