[Verse 1]
Carol, what do you know?
I made it to the other side again
I waited till the road was free
Oh, but living long wasn't that good to me
[Verse 2]
Carol, you know me well
I wasn't gonna love you with all those chains
It's better than it used to be
Somehow I get to heaven with a broken wing
[Chorus 1]
I tried so hard to hold you one last time
I'm just a concrete head sinking in a pool of wine
[Verse 3]
Oh Carol, you can have the keys
I'm never gonna drive that Thunderbird again
It was wasted, but it was never dead
You know I loved you way past all the things I said
[Chorus 2]
I tried so hard to hold you one last time
I'm just a crazy heart drinking on an empty mind
Oh Carol
[Outro]
Carol, what do you see
In that lonely shadow where I used to stand?
