Lyrics

I can smell the pines sweet carolina's on my mind
I still feel that mountain breeze whisperin' through the trees
Tears fell from her eyes I held her as we said goodbye
She knew I didn't want to go but here I am tonight alone
Dreaming carolina dreams in tennessee
And someday soon I'll have her here with me
Until then she knows I miss her and tonight I'll go to sleep
Dreaming carolina dreams in tennessee

The cotton mill shut down they laid off folks for miles around
I had to leave to find some work the hardest part was leaving her
Nashville tennessee it'd be beautiful if she was with me
But alone it's just another place till I close my eyes and see her face
I'm dreaming carolina dreams..

Though we're miles apart we're sharing the same moon
When it's shining on her it's shining on me too
[ strings ]
I'm dreaming carolina dreams in tennessee
And someday soon I'll have her here with me
I'm dreaming carolina dreams carolina dreams carolina dreams
