I drove across the Pickens County Line to escape into a cave. I called it home and I set up shop and lived there for a while
I left the car stranded by the oak tree at the bend in the road, my bags were packed with sleeping bags and fishing rods they kept me company
I played the hermit a little bit too long and you cut me out
I pushed away just a little bit to hard and you cut me out
Carolina I'm cutting down your trees to start a fire
Carolina, grow me up like children in the Bible
Sweet southern rain wash me away
The riverside, it couldn't keep me cooped up in my heart. I'm singing your Carolina call and I want it out.
I fell in and I ran through the forest naked as the bird you cooked up for the dinner that I missed without telling you
I kept my distance a little bit too long and you cut me out
You kept me close just a little bit too long you had to cut me out
Carolina I'm cutting down your trees to start a fire
Carolina, grow me up like children in the Bible
Sweet southern rain wash me away
Carolina I'm cutting down your trees to start a fire
Carolina, grow me up like children in the Bible
Sweet southern rain wash me away
By foot car or train, I will someday come back across the Pickens County Line
