I keep my ear to the ground and hands on a wheel
Ain't it good to love, ain't it good to feel
Wonderful when the evening comes
When the sun is setting and the day is done
I got my hands in my pockets and my head in the clouds
It's a great big world, a real small town
When you're up, you're up, there ain't no stopping now
But what goes up must come down, what goes up must come down
Say goodbye to Carolina
Say you'll miss me when I'm gone, gone, gone
When I'm gone
I wanna rock and roll, I wanna roll and rock
Kick out the jams and shake the block
There's a little joint just up the road
We can take it easy and take it slow, take it easy and take it slow
Say goodbye to Carolina
Say you'll miss me when I'm gone, gone, gone
When I'm gone
I ain't scared and I'm not sad
About the lonesome day I've had
Cause there's one thing that I know
Good times come, good times go
Good times come, good times go
Say goodbye to Carolina
Say you'll miss me when I'm gone, gone, gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
