Lyrics
Oh, Caroline
Copyright: March 13-03
Written By: Lisa A. Courtney
1st Verse:
I left Kentucky in the middle of the night
I drove into Tennessee at Dawn?s early light
I rented a motel room in the sleazy part of town
Snapped on the TV
My head was spinning round.
The news reporter said
Their bodies had been found
And the only suspect
Must have left town.
Chorus:
Oh, Caroline
Why did you lie?
When you said that you?d love me
Until you died.
Oh, Caroline
What a burden you?ve left
I?m a hunted down man
In Tennessee.
2nd Verse:
You must have said, ?It?s over!"
When he flew into a rage
A murder and a suicide
Is what I think took place.
He opened up my nightstand
Then pulled out my gun
And a split second later
The revenge was done.
Chorus:
Oh, Caroline
Why did you lie?
When you said that you?d love me
Until you died.
Oh, Caroline
What a burden you?ve left
I?m a hunted down man
In Tennessee.
3rd Verse:
I?d go back to Kentucky
If I could clear my name
But the odds are stacked against me
There?s no one else to blame.
I may not be a saint
But I?m not a murderer
No one would believe me
It would all be in vain.
Chorus:
Oh, Caroline,
Why did you lie?
When you said that you?d love me
Until you died.
Oh, Caroline,
What a burden you?ve left
I?m a hunted down man
In Tennessee.
Hmhmhmhmmmm!
