[Verse 1]
Me and you in a midnight blue, '82 Camaro
Crossin' over the Hartwell bridge movin' fast as she would go
Windows down, radio up, we were singin' "Freebird"
Flyin' up to your daddy's cabin just outside of Spartanburg

[Chorus]
Do you remember the way you looked at me back then?
Two hungry eyes wrapped up in a smile so innocent
It all makes one hell of a reminder
Keeps me cryin' Carolina, Carolina

[Verse 2]
We had a hotel room with a harbor view and a bottle of Chianti
That spring break in Charleston, it keeps comin' back to haunt me
Took a carriage ride to the battery, toasted shots above the water
Then stumbled 'cross the cobblestone, hands holdin' us together

[Chorus]
Do you remember the way we carried on?
We blew all our money and we had to starve the whole way home
It all makes one hell of a reminder
Keeps me cryin' Carolina, Carolina

[Bridge]
I can't let it go, no I can't let it go
I don't wanna' let go, oh no it feels too far away

[Chorus]
Do you remember that single bed that we slept in?
When I'd ride up to Clemson and hide in your room the whole weekend
It all makes one hell of a reminder
Keeps me cryin' Carolina, oh-no-no
Said I've been cryin' Carolina, Carolina
