Caroline

They say you were born in St. Claire's hospital
 I say you were born up in the sky
 You come floatin' down over New Orleans
 To the sweet green levee on the river side
 And your voice chirped like old squeaky shoes
 And momma always said we had nothing to lose
 And so we danced on the street corner
 Chorus:
 Oh Caroline
 (Round) Caroline
 Heartbroken hard times, they never got us down
 Walkin' the same line through every single southern town
 Hand in hand your arm round mine
 Oh Caroline
 Oh Caroline
 (Round) Caroline
 I seen it all change, watch it change some more
 Seen hard times standin' right outside your door
 Tell me gal what's on your mind
 Oh Caroline
 We were the Cardinals' biggest fans
 Turnin' flips like Ozzy Smith all through the night
 Til we got traded away
 To the Red Clay Southern League up on the Georgia line
 You be the pitcher and the catcher too
 I'm the home run king before his muscles grew
 Gonna knock the cover off this time
 (Chorus)
 These are different days
 And the pace of the world has us thinking there's no time
 To turn the other way
 Take my hand and we'll walk on down the line
 Though we may be a thousand miles apart
 A brother and a sister have a single heart
 And the beat don't stop for nothin'
 (Chorus)
