Back in those hills oh slow rollin' hills
   C majorC          G+G
Where North Carolina comes close to the stars
    C majorC          FF
There's livin' a lady she's shinin' so high

They call her the "Carolina Star"

She works at the factory from Monday through Friday

They're waitin' for the day that he comes home

   C majorC                 FF
He's broke and all alone, but he ain't ready to come home
