Grace and Gwynnie go to sleep
Mommas here beside you
Soon enough the battles done
And your daddy will be home

Just this side of Richmond
Thats where we draw the line
Thats where we find the courage
To take it one more time
We had dreams of glory now those dreams are gone
And Im listening for your whisper in the dark before the dawn
For you to

Call me Carolina
Rock me with that melody, find me where I roam
Miss me Carolina
The rustling of the trees
And the jasmine in the breeze
Tell me please Im not alone
Carolina call me home

In the first gray of the morning
The Yankees found their way
And that blue wave came acrashing
And the roar was judgment day
They seemed so like me as they settled to the ground
And in the middle of that hell I listened for your sound
For you to

Call me Carolina
Rock me with that melody find me where I roam
Miss me Carolina
Water through my hands
And the fog across the sand
Can I stand this heart I own
Carolina call me home

My love sees you
My love holds you

There was a freckled headed kid
And we wound up eye to eye
And his rifle would not fire
So he set himself to die
And I saw the slightest tear for what my steel would bring
But I would not be that merchant for I was listening
For you to

Call me Carolina
Rock me with that melody
Find me where I roam
Miss me Carolina
The quiet evening sky
The meadow fireflies
Where the best of me has shone
Carolina call me home
