Stuart Mcnair - Come to Caroline lyrics

Three days east of LA Picked you up in my Chevrolet It was suicide hitchhiking that way It was your 18th birthday And your daddy would have emptied his gun If he knew half the things i'd done Me and his little girl on the run Drive into the rising sun And I asked you "where you gonna go?" Lit a smoke and said you don't know You're new life on the road You were scared and it showed Chorus: But who's to stop you, Mandy From coming to Carolina Come to caroline, mandy Come to caroline, mandy Come to caroline, mandy With me Shared a bed in Tennessee Put my boot through a color tv When you said you were leaving me You had better things to see And i know i ain't got one thin dime And i've been prosing all your nursery rhymes But pretty soon if we make good time We'll be crossing that last state line Chorus Everything will turn out fine If you come to caroline, mandy With me Bridge: You're a diamond I'm a rusty nail And I've been stepping on your fairy tail At junction 40-23 And I wish that you would stay with me Chorus Everything will turn out fine If you come to caroline, mandy With me
