Oh My Sweet Carolina (Live) - Zac Brown Band

I went down to Houston And I stopped in San 'Antone I passed up the station for the bus I was trying to find me something But I wasn't sure just what Man, I ended up with pockets full of dust So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance I was spending money like the way it likes to rain Man, I ended up with pockets full of cane Oh, my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh, my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home I ain't never been to Vegas, but I gambled up my life Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what Funny how they say that some things never change Oh, my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh, my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home Up here in the city feels like things are closing in The sunset's just my light bulb burning out I miss Kentucky and I miss my family All the sweetest winds, they blow across the south Oh, my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh, my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home May you one day carry me home

I went down to Houston And I stopped in San Antone Passed up the station for the bus I was tryin' to find me somethin' But I wasn't sure just what Man, I ended up with pockets full of dust So I went on to Cleveland And I ended up insane I bought a borrowed suit And learned to dance I was spendin' money Like the way it used to rain And I ended up with pockets full of 'caine Oh my sweet Carolina What compels me to go?

30 thousand feet above The city where I fell in love with you And the fadin concrete skyline Brings an urban lullaby That still rings true When I passed you on the street that day Should've let that red scarf fly away Like any chance I had of keeping you Like the Northern wind a blowin' Yeah my lonely heart is frozen Never knew I'd find a way to break yours too Where the wind blows babe You can bet I'll be riding high with it Holding on for my dear life Just like I always did Close your eyes babe Take a breath, say my name And I'll be there My love will find you anywhere Anywhere my love The city lights look like a country sky Like staring at the stars turned upside down I wish I may, I wish I might Find it in your heart to stick around I hate it had to end this way Tomorrow is a brand new day And the chances here at love are precious few Someone's out there waiting For a sweet good timing lady To make you smile like I always wanted to Where the wind blows babe You can bet I'll be riding high with it Holding on for my dear life Just like I always did Close your eyes babe Take a breath, say my name And I'll be there My love will find you anywhere Anywhere my love So I fly all night Our memory's, my lullaby that love won't lie If it's love done right You'll be waiting on the other side Arms open wide, if love don't lie Lie We can fly Where the wind blows babe You can bet I'll be riding high with it Holding on for my dear life Just like I always did Close your eyes babe Take a breath, say my name And I'll be there My love will find you anywhere Anywhere My love will find you anywhere Anywhere My love will find you anywhere Anywhere my love

My first best friend Was a six string Took him with me Everywhere I'd go When I was 18, bought a dodge van Found a drummer and made the road my home Ooh, I wouldn't change a thing It made the man I am today My roots Always keep me grounded Roots Remind me where I'm from Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my roots I'm home Every Friday You can find me At dixie tavern Playing with my band We start the show with a round of whiskey We played our hearts out and wished it never end Ooh, I wouldn't change a thing It made the man I am today My roots Always keep me grounded Roots Remind me where I'm from Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my roots I'm home We get 'em singing Don't stop believin' And follow up with a cold beer on a Friday night Always dreaming one day we're playing with All our heroes we cover every night Flying high all our dreams came true You've given me wings and Roots Always keep me grounded Roots Remind me where I'm from Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my roots I'm home My roots Always keep me grounded Roots Remind me where I'm from My roots Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my roots I'm home Don't give up Hold on a little longer What don't kill you Only makes you stronger Don't give up Hold on a little longer What don't kill you Only makes you stronger Don't give up Hold on a little longer What don't kill you Only makes you stronger Don't give up Hold on a little longer What don't kill you Only makes you stronger Don't give up Hold on a little longer What don't kill you Only gives you stronger roots
