Lyrics

I've been breathing your piedmont skyline
warmed your pavement beneath my wheels
your Queen City with it's brand new buildings
makes me forget how history feels
and we are all just trying to figure that out
something tells that it'd be easier if I got out

So pray for me, cry for me-- put on a show,
we had a good thing going but I have to let you know
that i've been here too long
put my life in rewind
I'm leaving Carolina, Im leaving Carolina,
I'm leaving Carolina and I'm going home

When I first met you in this Emerald City
we drove in circles to find your street
There were holiday beaches, ferries to islands,
Bluegrass music and moonshine seas,
but I was drunk just trying to find a phone
to call somebody
to make it feel easier to be alone

So pray for me, cry for me-- put on a show,
we had a good thing going but I have to let you know
that i've been here too long
put my life in rewind
I'm leaving Carolina, Im leaving Carolina,
I'm leaving Carolina and I'm going home

From the plane above the mountains at night
a sparkle in the black--your front porch light
Sitting in a circle of friends
I want to find that again
oh how i want to find that again

So pray for me, lie for me-- put on a show,
we had a good thing going but I have to let you know
that i've been here too long
And I'm saying goodbye
I'm leaving Carolina, Im leaving Carolina,
I'm leaving Carolina and I'm going home
