Somewhere in the mountains.........in northern Alabama The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee Somewhere in a motel......out in Oklahoma There's the Alabama dreamer That same man from Tennessee
Sometime late at night......the lonely wakes her gently And knocks at her door......but she won't give in But like every other woman........She needs to feel wanted She thinks of making love.......and goes to sleep again
Carolina.........dreamin' lonely Carolina.........can't you see You will always be the lady..... That I dream of holding tight..... That I kiss and tell goodnight..... Carolina.......mountain dewe
Sometime that next day.....on a Mississippi freeway The Alabama dreamer........is homeward bound His conscious is as clear........as those green eyes of Carolina And she's waiting with the baby from the love..............of the only man to lay her down
Carolina..........dreaming lonely Carolina..........can't you see You will always be the lady That I dream of holding tight That I kiss and tell goodnight Carolina......mountain dewe Carolina..........I love you
