Verse 2
I dropped him off at the state line
then I thought about my life
and everything I left behind me
two children and my wife
I left them waiting for a phone call
well that was twenty days ago
now I'm in for the long haul
and it's time to go back home
Chorus II
and this damn road keeps getting longer
I've been travelin it sometime
and I've seen the rain, and felt the thunder...roll on
and it never changed my mind
Im going back to caroline
