Lyrics:

I'm stuck in Carolina
Wondering how I'm gonna get back home
Stuck in Carolina
Lord, I'm broke and all alone
I've been trying to call my baby
She don't pick up the telephone

When I come up here Friday
I had plenty money then
All the women loved me
Everybody was my friend
Aw, but once your pocket's empty
They turn to strangers again

I'm stuck in Carolina now
Stuck in Carolina now

If I had a thousand dollars
I'd bet it one time on the black
I'd take my winnings to the window
Pile the chips up in a stack
I'd beat this Cherokee casino
And I never would look back

Stuck in Carolina now
Got to get myself together now
