Carolina

Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, eh-eh
Something's changing
Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, eh-eh
Something's changing

5 AM on the dot
It's still dark, nobody up (Oh-oh)
You've got to dust though the birds didn't even start
You're cursing your alarm (Yeah-eh)
Shower's hot, but that ain't much
When life is cold down to your bones (Oh-oh)
You wanna be way off the grid
Down by the beach, not letting all your time go

And, yeah, it never ends
Things that you dream about
You know the time is now
To let all your wildness out
Carolina, no, you don't have to
Do what they want you to
Do what you need to do
You know it's all up to you

Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, eh-eh
Something's changing
Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, eh-eh
Something's changing

There's things you do for the love
And then there's things you do 'cause you're told (Oh-oh)
Voices barking up inside your head
Little flashbacks to your home (Yeah-eh)
Shouting loud from the dark
But no, you don't give 'em an ounce (Oh-oh)
'Cause all the joy that you found
Living the now makes you proud (Yeah-yeah)

And, yeah, it never ends
Things that could get you down
Pressures are all around
To keep you in your town
Carolina, no, you don't have to
Do what they want you to
Do what you need to do
You know it's all up to you

Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, eh-eh (Woo)
Something's changing
Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, eh-eh
Something's changing

C-A-R-O-L-I-N-A (Carolina)
C-A-R-O-L-I-N-A ([?])
C-A-R-O-L-I-N-A (Yeah, you know what you gotta do)
C-A-R-O-L-I-N-A (You know it's all up to you)
So come on, Carolina, come on, Carolina
Come on, Carolina, come on

Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, eh-eh (Woo)
Something's changing
Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, eh-eh
Something's changing

C-A-R-O-L-I-N-A
C-A-R-O-L-I-N-A ([?])
C-A-R-O-L-I-N-A
C-A-R-O-L-I-N-A
