Caroline Lyrics by Jay Buchanan
(Feat. Rival Sons)
I look to the west
And I see that old sun
Going down.
Strap on my boots
And I go blow the roof
Off this town.
In goes the liquor
And out of my mouth
Comes the flame.
The sun comes back up
And my first word
Is always your name.
Caroline
My hands make the shape
Of yours in mine.
And they refuse
To hold onto something new.
Caroline
I’m gonna burn up
All my time.
Until the lord
Brings me back to you.
A man takes your horse
You just find him
And shoot him down dead.
A man takes your money
You just give him
A heel to the head.
What do you do when
The lord comes
To take away your wife?
Guess your only revenge
Is to curse every day
Of your life.
Caroline
My hands make the shape
Of yours in mine.
And they refuse
To hold onto something new.
Caroline
I’m gonna burn up
All my time.
Until the lord
Brings me back to you.
You knew me before
I worked so hard
To build this bad name.
You knew me before
I knew whiskey, whippins women and working in vein.
You knew you were
On your way out
Long before I did.
You knew it would kill me
That’s why you
Kept it hid.
Caroline
My hands make the shape
Of yours in mine.
And they refuse
To hold onto something new.
Caroline
I’m gonna burn up
All my time.
Until the lord
Brings me back to you.
