Goodbye Carolina - Extended Version

[00:14.76] I dreamed of the day when I'd hold you in my arms again
[00:20.46] Read you all the letters I wrote but never sent
[00:26.15] Give you all the pieces of me
[00:29.30] To put 'em back together
[00:31.75] Put them back together again
[00:38.02] Life has a way of writing your story for you
[00:42.06] And the hero doesn't always get his girl
[00:49.07] What if you could change the ending to the novel they been writing
[00:55.60] Leave no resolution
[01:01.15] So, Goodbye Carolina
[01:07.26] Searched my whole life to find you
[01:13.41] I hate to leave you but I hope you'll know
[01:17.22] Where I'm going I'll be seeing you
[01:22.41] So hold my hand as I'm leaving
[01:28.73] Hoped my pain would be enough reason
[01:34.65] I'll see you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky
[01:39.36] But now I'm going
[01:41.95] Hate to tell you goodbye
[01:59.01] Say it takes a selfish man
[02:01.43] To leave on out from his old hometown
[02:05.17] Without saying why he's going
[02:10.91] But you can come take the rest of me
[02:14.31] Early in the morning
[02:17.20] Tell me your goodbyes
[02:22.67] Where I'm going I won't have these reminders of what I lost
[02:29.35] What was taken away from me
[02:34.79] And I hope you'll understand
[02:37.84] I was a broken man in my own hometown
[02:41.33] Need to find my own peace
[02:47.42] So, Goodbye Carolina
[02:53.20] Searched my whole life to find you
[02:59.07] I hate to leave you but I hope you'll know
[03:03.00] Where I'm going I'll be seeing you
[03:08.17] So hold my hand as I'm leaving
[03:14.03] Hoped my pain would be enough reason
[03:20.01] I'll see you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky
[03:24.31] But now I'm going
[03:27.09] Hate to tell you goodbye
[04:01.92] So goodbye Carolina
[04:07.63] Searched my whole life to find you
[04:13.85] I hate to leave you but I hope you'll know
[04:17.80] Where I'm going I'll be seeing you
[04:20.67] I'll be seeing you
[04:24.05] I'll be seeing you
