Carolina Line

(Rhett Akins/Bruce Burch/Vern Dant)

I guess she caught that plane early this morning '

Cause that "I've decided to stay" call never came

And right about now

Lord she's nearly back to

Asheville

I'm staring out at a south

Georgia rain

Wonderin' if

I'll ever touch her again

If there were only miles between us

I'd be there in a good days drive

But the last time

I held her

I saw the distance in her eyes

She once crossed the

Blue Ridge

Mountains

And swore that she'd be mine

But she never brought her heart across

The Carolina line

She always said this place felt just like home

But she had memories she never did unpack

And even in my arms holdin' me close

She never let go of the past

Or the one who kept callin' her back

If there were only miles between us

I'd be there in a good days drive

But the last time

I held her

I saw the distance in her eyes

She must have missed those

Blue Ridge

Mountains

Or someone she left behind '

Cause I never got her heart across

The Carolina line

When she crossed the

Blue Ridge

Mountains

ANd left me here behind

Lord knows she took my heart across

That Carolina line
