Looking out for a girl called Caroline 
the kinda girl e'body likes to meet 
standing there like she couldn't care 
with a heart that never missed a beat 

She got a look and you know that it's always there 
I wouldn't have it any other way 
Fact is you can't take her anywhere 
there is no reason but I gotta say 

She's your very best friend 
when you're digging in a hole 
she reads a good book 
but she loves her rock 'n' roll 
say what you like but she's gonna take control 
Caroline, dirty, got a lotta soul 

Gotta run, gotta hide, get outside of town 
so when we go she ain't so far behind 
seems like another day in paradise 
another day for me to lose my mind 

She'd be there, anywhere given half a chance 
and I believe everybody knows 
she is a girl and you can't ignore 
and isn't that the way it always goes 

She's your very best friend 
when you're digging in a hole 
she reads a good book 
but she loves her rock 'n' roll 
say what you like but she's gonna take control 
Caroline, dirty, got a lotta soul 
So I'm never going back, gotta keep it moving on 
they have me doing this, when it's over dead and gone 
no more looking cool down the barrel of a gun 
come on Caroline, still we gotta run 

come on Caroline
