Intro: See Riff
G C Am C
Every scream went bleeding through these paper walls
G C Am C
and all the make-up in the world couldn't hide the scars
G C Am C
I leave today, I'm packing light: a suitcase, some toiletries
G C Am C
The rolling hills and willow trees of Carolina wait for me
Interlude: See Riff
G C Am C
You never learned, the rules have changed since we were nine
G C Am C
This isn't school: boys don't assault the girls they like
G C Am C
The taste of blood, the claim of love: these two will here on cease to be
G C Am C
sprouting from your fists and tongue 'cause Carolina waits for me
Interlude: See Riff
G C Am C
Fields of grain go whipping by from the window seat
G C Am C
I'm drifting in, I'm drifting out catching up on sleep
G C Am C
I couldn't get Indentured since the very crest of 17
G C Am C
I left my keys and broken dreams 'cause Carolina waits for me
Interlude: See Riff
G C Am C
I will never forgive a single day
G C Am C
Mile markers seem to call my name and say,
G C Am C
"you're safer now. Through every town, we'll light your way in reflective green
G C Am C G
all the way" The entire state of Carolina waits for me
