Lyrics

Wake up, Carolina
There's a stranger in your bed
We put the past behind us
We forgive but don't forget
All the eager soldiers who
Pour bullets in your skin
They live and die for freedom
But they don't know what it is

But Oh, those Brown Mountain Lights
Can lead us back home

Careful, Carolina
There's a devil in your midst
He's slinging words of fire from the pulpit where he spots
He's singing on the radio
And offering a sign
But he'll lead you to the gates of hell
Just to make a dime

But Oh, those Brown Mountain Lights
Can lead us back home

Oh my Carolina
There is worry in your soul
I felt it in the mountains and
The valleys down below
I can hear it in the coal mines
And the quiet Crystal springs
We've set our sites upon destruction
And no man can change a thing

But Oh, those Brown Mountain Lights
Can lead us back home
