Pearl of Carolina

Down an old dirt road, some forgotten street
 Dust clouds risin' up from my draggin' feet
 I can't remember when I last saw her face
 Seems like such a waste
 I left with no goodbye, such a whirlwind rush
 I don't remember why, can't say I remember much
 Doesn't seem to be a reason to return
 To bridges burned
 I've been walkin' day and night, I'm dyin' on my feet
 Too long since I've had a night of sleep
 I can hear it callin' me, the love I've known
 "Come back home"

 Been a long time gone, long time left to go
 I'm not ready yet, still I know
 Days are gettin' short, the nights are gettin' cold
 I'm growin' old
 Given up all I've owned and everything I've gained
 Of all I thought I wanted only this remains
 Need to go and see the Pearl of Carolina shine
 One more time
 I've been walkin' day and night, I'm dyin' on my feet
 Too long since I've had a night of sleep
 I can hear it callin' me, the love I've known
 "Come back home"
