Lyrics

Born to Elaina on a stormy night
the thunder and lightening must have been a sign
of the clashes that this child would bring
to their small town
An only daughter, a pretty wild thing
She had nothing, wanted everything
But she grew up in a house of love
hard work and hand-me-downs

Build1
When prom night came, Momma didn?t let her down
Made a dress from her own wedding gown
And in the place of a tomboy that night
Was a beautiful girl
But like a cinderella, a vision in white
She left her Bo at the stroke of midnight
Took a Greyhound and headed out west
Off to see the world

Chorus
That little North Carolina Girl
(North Car-o-li-na Girl)
North Carolina Girl
(North Car-o-li-na Girl)
North Carolina Girl
She travelled around the world

Verse 2
Well life goes on, and the years rolled past
But then one day they got a letter at last
She wrote I'm sorry and I hope and pray
one day you'll understand
Now Momma don't you worry cause I'm
doing all right
I got a job and a place to sleep at night
And I'm livin' out all my dreams
And finding who I am

Build 2
Tell Bo I can?t forget him, try as I might
And I hope and pray you?re all safe tonight
And I love you more than anything else
In this whole world

Chorus
Your little North Carolina Girl
(North Car-o-li-na Girl)
North Carolina Girl
(North Car-o-li-na Girl)
North Carolina Girl
Somewhere around the world

Verse 3
Daddy was mending fences the day she came home
Like a little waif standing on that old dirt road
She said I?m sorry and I missed you so much
I know I let you down
I?ve chased empty dreams in a world full of sin
And it took me all this time to see
what I was missing
It was right here in front of my eyes
In this small town

Build 3
That night she was amazed when Bo walked in
Got down on his knees with his grandma?s
wedding ring
Said ?I?ve waited my whole life for this moment
? you?re my world?

Chorus
My little North Carolina Girl
(North Car-o-li-na Girl)
North Carolina Girl
(North Car-o-li-na Girl)
North Carolina Girl
