Back To Caroline - Jamey Johnson Intro: Bm A-G x2 DABAAG D A He said: "The storm is gettin' stronger," Bm A G A As he climbed inside my truck. D A "I'm headed back to Carolina, Bm A G A "God's will an' any luck." D A An' he told me how he'd left his family, Bm A G A So many years ago. D A An' he'd seen the whole world on the shoulders, Bm A G A But now it's time to go back home. D A An' he said: "This road goes on forever: Bm A G A "I've been travellin' all my life. D A "An' I've seen the rain, I've felt the thunder, Bm A G A "But it never changed my mind: D A-G "I'm goin' back to Caroline." I dropped him off at the State line, An' then I thought about my life. An' everything I left behind me: Two children an' my wife. I left 'em waitin' for a 'phone call, An' that was twenty days ago. But now I'm in it for the long-haul, An' it's time to go back home. An' this damn road keeps gettin' longer: I've been travellin' it some time. An' I've seen the rain, I've felt the thunder roll on, But it never changed my mind: I'm goin' back to Caroline." Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whoa, Lord, I'm going back to Caroline. Whoa oh.
