Oh My Sweet Carolina (Live at Carnegie Hall; November 17, 2014)

Well, I went down to Houston, I stopped in San Antone
I passed up the station for the bus
I was trying to find me something
I wasn't sure just what
Man, I ended up with pockets full of dust

So I went on to Cleveland, I ended up insane
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
I was spending money like the way it likes to rain
Lord, 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

I've never been to Vegas, but I've gambled up my life
Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains
I 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

Yeah well, 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 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
