Rhett Akins - Carolina Line
Somebody New (1999)
D-D-G-A-As
DD/F#G
I guess she caught that plane early this morning
BmAG
'cause her I've-decided-to-stay call never came
DD/F#G
and right about now lord she's nearly back to asheville
EmAsuA
I'm staring out at a south Georgia rain
GAsusA
wondering if I'll ever touch her again
Chorus
BmA
If there were only miles between us
G
I'd be there in a good day's drive
BmA
but the last time I held her
GAsusA
I saw the distance in her eyes
GA
she once crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains
BmAG
and swore that she'd be mine
D/F#GAsusADAsus
but she never brought her heart across the Carolina line
She always said this place felt just like home
but there were memories she never did unpack
and even in my arms holding me close
she never let go of the past
or the one who kept calling her back
Chorus
If there were only miles between us
I'd be there in a good day's drive
but the last time I held her
I saw the distance in her eyes
she must've missed those Blue Ridge Mountains
or someone she left behind Bm (No D in 2nd chorus)
'cause I never got her heart across the Carolina line
Instrumental (Same as first four lines of chorus)
When she crossed the Blue Ridge mountains
and left me here behind
Lord knows she took my heart across that Carolina line
