Hail Mary Lyrics by Blake Proehl
I’m staring down this tennessee skyline
Everybody says you can’t be
But there ain’t no moss on the trees I drive by
Ain’t no salt on the breeze
I’ve been up and around downtown
Talking to strangers, walking the streets
And the faces, damn, they sure are pretty
But they ain’t quite home to me
Miss carolina,
I can’t forget the view
Of that sun on the ocean
And your eyes are tar heel blue
And I’m looking for a sign
’cause I still ain’t got a clue
If I miss carolina
Or if I’m just missing
I’m just missing you
I can’t help when I smell tobacco
And I’m back on that 10-mile stretch
You leaned in, saying, kiss me baby
And my heart jumped out of my chest
And I do my best to put my memories in boxes
Back in the closet
But they don’t stay put and I wish they would
’cause I’m still out here looking for my…
Miss carolina,
I can’t forget the view
Of that sun on the ocean
And your eyes are tar heel blue
And I’m looking for a sign
’cause I still ain’t got a clue
If I miss carolina
Or if I’m just missing
I’m just missing you
Yeah, I’m just missing you
Miss carolina
I’m staring down this tennessee skyline
But all I can see is…
Miss carolina,
I can’t forget the view
Of that sun on the ocean
And your eyes are tar heel blue
And I’m looking for a sign
’cause I still ain’t got a clue
If I miss carolina
Or if I’m just missing
I’m just missing you
’cause I’m just
Yeah, I’m just missing you
Yeah, I’m just missing you
