I went down to Houston and I stopped in San Antone
I passed up the station for the bus
I was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
Man, I ended up with pockets full of dust
So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
I was spending money like the way it likes to rain
Man, I ended up with pockets full of cane
Oh, my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh, my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home
Now I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life
Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains
Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
Funny how they say that some things never change
Oh, my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh, my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home
Up here in the city, feels like things are closing in
The sunset's just my light bulb burning out
I miss Kentucky and I miss my family
All the sweetest winds they blow across the south
Oh, my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh, my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home
May you one day carry me home
