Carolina Blues

(Album: Straight On Till Morning - 1997)

Trying to make a train at sunrise
Gonna have to run a red light
Trying to make a train at sunrise
Gonna have to run a red light
Travling with my Carolina
You know, the girl kept me up all night
And when my Carolina throw down
You know the girl know how to fight

Don't think we're gonna make it
There's nothing else that anyone could do
I Don't think we're gonna make it
There's nothing else than anyone could say
I almost got the feeling
That Carolina like it that way
Said I'm waiting on the trainman
To hurry up and take my pain away
Hear what I say

All aboard
All aboard
Wait for me
Wait for me
Wait for me

Trainman kept his promise
I'm gonna try and go on back to bed
Said the trainman kept his promise
I'm gonna try and go on back to bed
I can't sleep anyway
Thinking about what my Carolina said
And, oh, my Carolina,
Running like a freight train through my head
