Caroline was born about a mile from the Mississippi
Kinda like the kudzu, she grew up fast and pretty
A little bit of Memphis, little bit of New York City

All the boys would come around, blocking up her daddy's driveway
But she could spot a come-on coming from a mile away
She hears them calling but she ain't falling

She wants a love that's gonna last forever
She wants to stand where her feet don't touch the ground
She's holding out for a piece of heaven
She's gonna fly and she's never comin' down

She's waiting tables at her Uncle Joe's "Bar & Diner"
And it was powerful stuff when he pulled up in a big freight liner
He lit a cigarette and when their eyes met
She knew that one day he'd carry her away

She wants a love that's gonna last forever
She wants to stand where her feet don't touch the ground
She's holding out for a piece of heaven
She's gonna fly and she's never comin' down

She wants a love that's gonna last forever
She wants to stand where her feet don't touch the ground
She's holding out for a piece of heaven
She's gonna fly 

She wants a love that's gonna last forever
She wants to stand where her feet don't touch the ground
She's holding out for a piece of heaven
She's gonna fly and she's never comin' down 

She's gonna fly, she's never comin' down 
She's gonna fly, she's never comin' down 
She's gonna fly, she's never comin' down 
She's gonna fly, she's never comin' down...
