Lyrics
It's a long road back to Carolina
The place where I was born and raised
I left home one day and started walking
And I won't stop 'til they lower me in my grave
I spent eighteen months in blue Kentucky
And countless more out west across the plains
I tried my hand at being lucky
But lost my stake when someone rigged the game
It's a long road home It's a long road home
In a small town east of Colorado
I learned a steady job means working everyday
I stuck it out as long as I was able
But packed it in when I heard that morning train
It's a long road home It's a long road home
Under dark grey clouds one frosty morning
I was alone when I heard someone call my name
Now I'm back on that road to Carolina
For someone's waiting there to lower me in my grave
Now I'm back on that road to Carolina
For someone's waiting there to lower me in my grave
