Verse 1:
C       F
Now tonight we made good time,
C            Am
Straddling that yellow line.
C         F    G
Another town, the same old songs.
C         F
My mind is racing down the street.
C          Am
These shoes are suffocating me.
C        F    G   C
The only place I want to be is gone.

Verse 2:
C         F
Take me where them rolling hills
C         Am
Can gather up and cure my ills.
C         F     G
Let me smell that long-leaf pine.
C         F
Here I come clear off a space,
C          Am
Just don't forget my name or face
C         F    G  C
Before I get back down to Caroline.

Carolina, I love you still.

America's so big and great,
C             Am
Goes coast to coast, goes state to state.
C          F      G
I love you from the east to the west.
C        F
New York island, California,
C       Am
Woody Guthrie had it for you,
C          F    G  C
But there's a corner of you I love best.

And feel that big love coming down.

Hey, gray skies, don't rain on me.

I got someplace I got to be.

This emptiness is all in me, I think I should be going.
C      F
Sixty-one or sixty-six,
C      Am
Any road can give you kicks,
C        F   G    C
But only one can carry you back home.
