Goodbye Carolina - The Marcus King Band

I dreamed of the day

That I’d hold you in my arms again

Read you all the letters I wrote, never sent

Give you all the pieces of me

Put 'em back together

Put 'em back together again

Life has a way of writing your story for you

And the hero doesn’t always get his girl

What if you could change the ending

To the novel they’ve been writing

Leave no resolution

So goodbye Carolina

Searched my whole life to find you

I hate to leave you

But I hope you’ll know

Where I’m going I’ll be seeing you

So hold my hand as I’m leaving

Hoped my pain would be enough reason

I’ll see you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky

Now I’m going

Hate to tell you goodbye

Say it takes a selfish man

To leave on out from his old hometown

Without saying why he’s going

But you can come take the rest of me

Early in the morning

Tell me your goodbyes

Where I’m going I won’t have these reminders

Of what I lost and what was taken away from me

And I hope you’ll understand

I was a broken man in my own hometown

Need to find my own peace

So goodbye Carolina

Searched my whole life to find you

I hate to leave you

But I hope you’ll know

Where I’m going I’ll be seeing you

So hold my hand as I’m leaving

Hoped my pain would be enough reason

I’ll see you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky

Now I’m going

Hate to tell you goodbye

So goodbye Carolina

Searched my whole life to find you

I hate to leave you

But I hope you’ll know

Where I’m going I’ll be seeing you

I’ll be seeing you, I’ll be seeing you
