Lyrics
I go out walking and I look to my right and I
see the night sky.
I go out walking and I look to my left and I
see lamplight rise.
He told me he would help those oaks to grow.
He told me he wouldn’t let his trails go.
He told me he would never let them build a house on his forest home.
Oh Carolina I’ve done all my earthly living in your mountains so high.
I’d like to go back in a pink coat, sit under the moon and move with the sky.
I’ve been away a long time.
I’ve been away a long time.
I’ve been away.
I wear my grandpa’s coat,
I ask my dad what he knows.
They always lead me right.
My shoulders soak up sun,
My mind, the memories flood,
They always lead me right.
I wear my grandpa’s coat,
I ask my dad what he knows.
They always lead me right.
My shoulders soak up sun,
My mind, the memories flood,
They always lead me right.
