Oh My Sweet Carolina (Live At Carnegie Hall / 11/17/2014) - 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'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've never been to Vegas, but I gambled up my life

Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains

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 me

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
