[Verse 1: Noah Guy]
Float down the Brandywine
Small-talking Carolina
She been knocked up
But it's a free world for the ones who never
Had to put a fucking fight up
Three degrees get you right, oh
For the doctors who had the option

[Chorus: Noah Guy]
To not be Carolina
To not be, to not be Carolina
To not be, to not be Carolina
To not be, to not be Carolina
To not be, to not be, oh

[Verse 2: Noah Guy]
So it's raining now
Riverbank floods in a painful town and
Oh, with the softest sound
Swim to the city, we could start this over
Why we leaving now?
Small-talk girl, but she's screaming out and
Caroline left to drown
But I can't think about home
Yeah, so give it up now
Come back swinging my luck 'round
God bless this shameful town
To not live here and not bе Carolina
[Bridge: Noah Guy]
It's raining now, it's pouring now
Bootstraps been stuck in the mud
Who pick 'em up when thеy're stuck in the mud? (Come on)

[Verse 3: The Spirit of New Orleans Gospel Choir]
Who gon' drown? Drown and drown
And it forces, and it forces you
To let our bodies move and
A river runs through so don't drown
Drown and drown
And it forces, and it forces you
To say goodbye to Caroline and boats that never move

[Chorus: Noah Guy]
To not be, to not be Carolina
To not be, to not be Carolina
To not be, to not be Carolina
To not be, to not be, oh
To not be, to not be Carolina
To not be, to not be Carolina
To not be, to not be Carolina
To not be, to not be, oh
