[Verse 1]
Well, I'm walkin' in the hills of Carolina
Through the heat as thick as the blood
That moves my bones
And I don't think much about nothing in Carolina
But it sure feels nice
Not walkin' on steel and stone

[Chorus]
Far away from everything that keeps me from you
Acceptance found in walkin' another mile
And the things I left undone
Become the things I'll never do

[Verse 2]
Cause I'm floatin' on the wind in Carolina
But my feet still slip in the mud
That holds me down
And I can't help takin' my time in Carolina
Cause the highway hummin'
Might keep me from comin' around

[Chorus]
Far away from everything that keeps me from you
Acceptance found in walkin' another mile
And the things I left undone
Become the things I'll never do
[Bridge]
Long gone, it's only one more minute of another long day
Hold on, it's time I gave back
Just a little bit of change

[Verse 3]
Cause I'm walking in the hills of Carolina
Through the heat as thick as the blood
That saved my soul
And there ain't no doubt about nothing in Carolina
Boy, it sure feels nice
Not living on bread alone

[Chorus]
Far away from everything that keeps me from you
Acceptance found in walkin' another mile
And the things I left undone
Become the things I'll never do

So I think I'll stick around a little while in Carolina...
