Carolina Wind

Verse 1

She grew up down in Greenville where the pine trees kiss the sky

Barefoot on the backroads, Carolina in her eyes

Learned to hide her hurt behind a sweet “I’m doing fine”

While the church bells rang on Sunday and she cried on Friday nights

Pre-Chorus

But the summer rain came pouring through her soul

Like the rivers running wild through the Carolina shoals

Chorus

Now she’s learning how to dance in her own blue jeans

Driving down Highway 25 feeling free

Ain’t waiting on nobody to tell her what she’s worth

She found a little peace right here in Southern dirt

With every scar and every tear she’s been through

She’s finally seeing herself the way the good Lord do

Yeah, she’s learning to love herself again

Down in South Carolina wind

Verse 2

She’d sit out by Lake Hartwell with the moonlight on the waves

Thinking maybe broken hearts were just something you can’t save

Then she heard an old guitar playing soft through an open barroom door

And something in that melody made her believe once more

Pre-Chorus

Now every sunset burning over those red clay roads

Feels a little more like healing letting go

Chorus

Now she’s learning how to dance in her own blue jeans

Driving down Highway 25 feeling free

Ain’t waiting on nobody to tell her what she’s worth

She found a little peace right here in Southern dirt

With every scar and every tear she’s been through

She’s finally seeing herself the way the good Lord do

Yeah, she’s learning to love herself again

Down in South Carolina wind

Bridge

From Charleston tides to mountain pines

She’s piecing back together all the shattered parts inside

And every star above the Carolina night

Reminds her she was born to shine

Final Chorus

Now she’s laughing louder than the pain she knew

Blooming like the dogwoods do in June

No, she don’t need saving, she just needed time

To hear her own heart beating in the quiet

And every road that led her through the blue

Brought her back to someone strong and true

Yeah, she’s learning to love herself again

Outro

Somewhere beneath those Carolina skies

She finally found herself tonight…
