Carolina

Key of Zed has recorded a new song. (Check it out here.)

Carolina
(Lyrics and Music by Mike Charko and Keith Shields)

I called you up to see how you were
So you think that I still care
Don’t get me wrong, I’m movin’ on
With a part of me still there

Asheville’s pretty this time of year
And I want to be there with you
But you left me at the altar
With tears in my eyes, feeling just like a fool

Said you needed some more time
Just a little bit more time
To live on the wild side of life
But you’ve got me going out of my mind
Getting you off my mind

Carolina in the spring time
I don’t want to be someone’s fool
Carolina in the spring time
I don’t want to be on my own

Asheville’s pull is calling me back
Like a magnet to the north
I hope that guy is good to you
If he knows a violet’s worth

(Instrumental bridge)

I hear there’s a job in East Tennessee
With a bunch of working men
A foundry is good for singing the blues
When your heart is cracked and bent

Maybe I need some more time
Just a little bit more time
To find a new kind of life
But you’ve got me going out of my mind
I can’t get you off my mind

Carolina in the spring time
I don’t want to be someone’s fool
Carolina, scent of Jasmine
I don’t want to be on my own

Carolina with the flowers
I don’t want to be someone’s fool
Carolina in the spring time
I don’t want on my own
