Carolina days

Verse 1

I only stayed a little while, down in Carolina sun

Didn’t know those passing days would mean so much when they were done

Now I sit and think about it, let those memories play

Like laughter echoing softly from those Carolina days

Verse 2

Me and Rodney, Mom beside us, at that old steakhouse place

Laughing till we cried so hard, tears rolling down our face

Something ‘bout that moment, Lord, we’ll never understand

But it felt like heaven touched us, just for a little span

Chorus

Oh take me back to Carolina nights

Where everything felt good and right

Poolside dreams and summer air

Family love was everywhere

I’d give it all just one more stay

Back in those sweet Carolina days

Verse 3

Three a.m. and wide awake, driving through that sleepy town

Krispy Kreme was shining like a light we finally found

Bringing home that simple joy, sharing what we had

Never knew those little things would be the best I had

Bridge

Sandra’s laugh still fills my soul

Like a song that won’t grow old

If I could walk that road again

I’d hold on tighter to those friends

Final Chorus

Oh take me back to Carolina nights

Where love was strong and hearts were light

Time moved slow, we didn’t care

Life felt easy, life was fair

And maybe one day, Lord I pray

You’ll lead me back to Carolina days
