I dreamed of the day when I'd hold you in my arms again
Read you all the letters I wrote, never sent
Give you all the pieces of me
Put 'em back together
Put 'em back together again
Life has a way of writing your story for you
And the hero doesn't always get his girl
What if you could change the ending
To the novel they've been writing?
Leave no resolution
Goodbye Carolina
Searched my whole life to find you
I hate to leave you but I hope you'll know
Where I'm going I'll be seeing you
So hold my hand as I'm leaving
Hoped my pain would be enough reason
See you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky
Now I'm going
Hate to tell you goodbye
♪
Say, it takes a selfish man
To leave on out from his old hometown without saying why he's going
But you can come take the rest of me
Early in the morning
Tell me your goodbye
Where I'm going I won't have these reminders of what I lost
What was taken away from me
And I hope you'll understand
I was a broken man in my own hometown
Need to find my own peace
So goodbye Carolina
Searched my whole life to find you
I hate to leave you but I hope you'll know
Where I'm going I'll be seeing you
So hold my hand as I'm leaving
Hoped my pain would be enough reason
See you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky
Now I'm going
Hate to tell you goodbye
Goodbye Carolina
Searched my whole life to find you
I hate to leave you but I hope you'll know
Where I'm going I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you
