[chorus] I fell asleep in Carolina And I woke up a better man I feel asleep in Carolina And I will do the best I can Carolina love Make ya wanna feel Make ya wanna dance Like it's all surreal Drunk off a summer night Warm to the skin I lost my mind Queen City took me in I had a tendency Just to let it go Never thought much about The consequences though I guess you never do When you're on the road But Carolina showed Me I could feel home Just a California kid
Who loves to go down south Myrtle Beach spring break Chapel Hill now Triangle to the Triad I had some of the best nights I never called my bad Have you ever done something That you swore was a dream So good one night but you can't believe Did happen or did your mind conceive I'll be back Carolina don't forget about me Morning could wait I fall to pieces But I don't care I'm on my way Leaving for reasons But I'll be there I'll be there
