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
