The Carolinian

[00:19.53] We met on The Carolinian - heading south from D.C.
[00:24.11] It's as if God himself had picked out our seats
[00:28.57] She smiled and said Richmond when I asked where she was bound
[00:33.62] I began to wish my life away to have been born in that town
[00:40.24] We talked a little bit and then she smiled,
[00:42.33] I saw down in her eyes
[00:44.88] She wasn't just beautiful, she was kind and she was wise
[00:49.55] But a woman down in Raleigh, would soon have my son
[00:54.39] So I waited for her station like the bullet from a gun
[01:00.34] She's in Richmond with my heart - And I'm bound for Carolina
[01:09.89] Wish I'd never met this train or the girl that's left behind her
[01:19.37] When the train reached the station, she looked me in the eye
[01:23.88] Said, Come with me to Richmond and we'll start a brand new life
[01:28.78] Well you know that moment still weighs on my mind
[01:33.40] 'Cause I took my body to Raleigh, and left my heart behind
[01:39.43] She's in Richmond with my heart - And I'm bound for Carolina
[01:50.47] Wish I'd never met this train or the girl that's left behind her- now we're apart
[02:02.96] While I'm bound for Caroline - she's in Richmond with my heart
[02:41.16] My son is grown up to my hand, and he fills me with pride
[02:45.81] I take him down to the station to watch the trains roll by
[02:50.54] But that northbound Carolinian always makes the teardrops start
[02:55.52] Cause its headed up to Virginia where I left my heart
[03:02.77] She's in Richmond with my heart - And I'm bound for Carolina
[03:12.61] Wish I'd never met this train or the girl that's left behind her- now we're apart
[03:25.15] While I'm down in Caroline - she's in Richmond with my heart
[03:37.58] I'm still down in Caroline, she's in Richmond with my heart
[03:46.13]
