Ten years ago I had to fly Been living my dream trying to stay alive I missed my buddies, I miss my home Yea I do I ain't seen my momma in way too long Give me skinny cane pole and a hot bream bed Catch me a little blue gill and a big flat head now Some fresh boiled peanuts and shrimp and grits, mmm Some jack in a barrel and a hog in the pit now Need some hard red clay and a soft sand hill Some black water healing some time to kill I'm doing pretty good man but I ain't lying I'm just trying to get back to my Carolina, yeah Give me some beagles barking down in a hole Running a cotton till soothing my soul I need a live oak tree and a soy bean field I wish I could take it like a pill Need some hard red clay and a soft sand hill Some black water healing some time to kill I'm doing pretty good man but I ain't lying I'm just trying to get back to my Carolina, yeah! I need some dirty smoke and a jar of shine Burn my tongue and ease my mind I need some hard red clay and a soft sand hill Some black water healing some time to kill I'm doing pretty good man but I ain't lying I'm just trying to get back to I'm just trying to get back to my Carolina Ten years ago I had to fly I've been living my dream trying to stay alive
