Eric Bachmann - Carrboro Woman lyrics

Carrboro woman, won't you come with me There's some place I want to go And I don't want to go alone But what I want ain't what I need And something else you ought to know That if you come, you're on your own I'm no good at riding side by side I travel lean And I will try my best to be To you no burden, weight, or beast I hope it's clear and that you understand As we take each other's hands You ain't my woman And woman, I am not your man I do believe we all belong and everything that's right and wrong Comes from a light that you can't see but if you try You can feel it swell and rise slowly reaching out to find you Open the door ain't nobody yours So there ain't no reason to run from all you're losing I came upon a wounded beast She was lying in the sand Her heart held in her hand How do you pretend to try To save a thing that's meaning to die Do you try or walk on by So Carrboro woman, won't you walk with me There's some place I have to go And I don't want to go alone And if what you want ain't where I'll be Then my love I'll understand You ain't my woman And woman, I am not your man
