There's a little town just outside of Charlestown

That we talked about for years

I always said we'd start a better life down there

Forget about here

This flatland wind is bound to blow you somewhere

If you ain't hangin' on

Now, I always thought we'd fly away together

But I guess I was wrong

Cause you beat me to the punch

Last I heard, someone else did too

Hey Carolina

I never needed you anyway

And the february weather's nice in Kansas

And I'm really okay

Well, I hope he makes you happy

And I wish you both the best

And it really feels good

To get all this off my chest

Hey Carolina

I never needed you anyway

Well, I joined the gospel choir down at church

Bought me an electric guitar

I'm learning all them old Johnny Cash songs

Makin' new friends at the bar

I saw a movie on the TV

Late the other night

Saw a pretty girl under a palm tree

But you never crossed my mind

Hey Carolina

I never needed you anyway

The february weather's nice in Kansas

And I'm really okay

Well, I hope he makes you happy

And I wish you both the best

And it really feels good

To get all this off my chest

Hey Carolina

I never needed you anyway

Well, I hope all your wildest dreams have come true

Yeah, I hope it's everything you'd thought it be

And everytime he wraps his arms around you

I hope you don't think of me

Hey Carolina

I never needed you anyway

The february weather's nice in Kansas

And I'm really okay

Hey Carolina

I never needed you anyway (Hey Carolina)

Sometimes I think I'd like to see ya but then again

I wouldn't have much to say (Hey Carolina)

Hey Carolina

I never needed you anyway (Hey Carolina)

Hey Carolina

Just go ahead and stay

Hey Carolina

I never needed you anyway

Hey Carolina
