Carolina Star Songtext

von Hugh Moffatt

Back in the hills, oh, slow rollin' hills,
Where North Carolina comes close to the stars,
There's livin' a lady shinin' so high,
They call her "Carolina Star."

She works at the factory from Monday through Friday.
She's raisin' three daughters alone.
Their daddy's away. He's chasing a dream.
She's living for the day that he comes home.
Oh, Carolina,
Even stars get lonesome now and then.
Oh, Carolina,
Don't you worry. He's comin' home again.
He's singing his songs in Nashville.
Working for tips in a bar.
He's broke and all alone, but he dreans to going home.
He's gonna be a country singin' star.
Even stars get lonesome now and then.
Oh, Carolina,
Don't you worry. He's comin' home again
Sometimes she wakes up just thinking of him.
She remembers him beside her in the night,
While out across those hills that old moon is settled in,
And those Carolina stars are shining bright.

Yes, he loves you and he's comin' home again.
