Townes Van Zandt
Carolina
Things my Daddy taught me
Candy Mama brought me
Songs that Sister’d sing to me
Seem so long ago
Now I’m on this highway
Time is flying by me
Counting footsteps my way
Hope they’re headed home
I never could have known
I didn’t have a clue
What the Carolina
Stars would do to you
When there is a young man
He seems so hard to please
When he turns an old man
There’s no time left to grieve
Willows swayed, nightmares made
My darling whispered she had to go
The moon smiles down
Doesn’t makе a sound
She hates to say I told you so
I nevеr could have known
I didn’t have a clue
What the Carolina
Stars would do to you
What the Carolina Stars
Carolina Stars
Carolina, Carolina
Stars would do to you
