Tony Rice - Carolina Star lyrics

Back in the hills oh slow rollin' hills Where North Carolina comes close to the stars There's livin' a lady who's shinin' so high They call her the "Carolina Star' She works at the factory from Monday through Friday She's raisin' three daughters alone Their daddy's away, he's chasing a dream They're waitin' for the day that he comes home [Chorus] Oh, Carolina Even stars get lonesome now and then Oh, Carolina Don't you worry, he'll be comin' home again He's playin' his songs in Nashville He's pickin' for tips in a bar He's broke and all alone, but he ain't ready to come home He's wants to be a bluegra** pickin' star [Chorus] Sometimes she wakes up just thinking of him She remembers him beside her in the night While out across those hills that old moon is settled in And those Carolina stars are shining bright [Chorus] Yes he loves you and he's comin' home again
