Carolina Mountain Dewe

(Randy Owen)



Somewhere in the mountains in northern Alabama

The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee

Somewhere in a motel out in Oklahoma

There's the Alabama dreamer

That same man from Tennessee.



Sometime late that night the lonely wakes her gently

And knocks at her door but she won't give in

But like every other woman she needs to feel wanted

She thinks of making love and goes to sleep again.



Carolina dreamin' lonely

Carolina can't you see

You will always be the lady

That I dream of holding tight

That I kiss and tell goodnight

Carolina mountain dewe.



Sometime that next day on a Mississippi freeway

The Alabama dreamer is homeward bound

His conscious is as clear as those green eyes of Carolina

And she's waiting with the baby from the love

Of the only man to lay her down.



Carolina dreaming lonely

Carolina can't you see

You will always be the lady

That I dream of holding tight

That I kiss and tell goodnight

Carolina mountain dewe.



Carolina I love you...
