Well, I'm walkin' in the hills of Carolina

Through the heat as thick as the blood

That moves my bones

And I don't think much about nothing in Carolina

But it sure feels nice 

Not walkin' on steel and stone


Chorus:

Far away from everything that keeps me from you,

Acceptance found in walkin' another mile

And the things I left undone

Become the things I'll never do


Cause I'm floatin' on the wind in Carolina

But my feet still slip in the mud 

That holds me down

And I can't help takin' my time in Carolina

Cause the highway hummin' 

Might keep me from comin' around


CHORUS


Bridge:

Long gone, it's only one more minute of another long day

Hold on, it's time I gave back

Just a little bit of change


Cause I'm walking in the hills of Carolina

Through the heat as thick as the blood

That saved my soul

And there ain't no doubt about nothing in Carolina

Boy, it sure feels nice 

Not living on bread alone


CHORUS


So I think I'll stick around a little while in Carolina...
