(original by Ryan Adams ) 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抰 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抰 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抰 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抯 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
