[00:00.00]Ryan Adams - Carolina Rain
[00:11.45]
[00:13.45]Rose lived on the south side of town
[00:19.42]Until her landlord showed up with two hundred dollar bills
[00:26.39]A notice of eviction on the other hand
[00:32.58]Now she don't live there no more,
[00:35.86]And everyone thinks he drowned,
[00:39.43]
[00:44.77]I pulled into Mecklenburg on them trains
[00:50.68]Into a station that got flooded when they opened up the dam
[00:57.78]And broke their connections to the railway lines
[01:03.75]So they could blast into the quarry,
[01:07.03]And for every load of granite,
[01:10.37]We got a ton of worry
[01:13.63]
[01:17.43]One night at the diner over eggs,
[01:23.72]Over easy she showed me the length of her legs,
[01:30.41]But that gold plated cross on her neck, it was real
[01:36.64]And you don't get that kind of money from pushing meal
[01:43.26]
[01:48.76]I should've told him that you were the one for me,
[01:55.23]But I lied, But I lied,
[01:58.48]To most any drifter whose looking for work is too weird
[02:05.72]I met Percy and I married her in July
[02:11.04]But if only to be closer to you, Caroline
[02:17.11]
[02:24.52]Percy and I moved down the street
[02:30.45]Until we lost two pretty girls
[02:33.73]One was seven and one was three
[02:37.64]Alderman and Caroline owned the house right up the hill
[02:43.68]Where we laid those babies down
[02:46.73]So they could still see our house
[02:50.02]
[02:55.43]Suspicion got the best of old Alderman Haint
[03:01.40]He owned an auto parts store off the interstate
[03:08.12]But the lord took him home in July
[03:14.68]And then Rose spilled the beans on the day that he died
[03:21.10]
[03:23.43]We were in trouble
[03:26.56]I should've told him that you were the one for me
[03:33.06]But I lied, But I lied
[03:36.22]Tied up to concrete at the bottom of the quarry
[03:42.16]With a tattoo on his heart that spelled out "Caroline"
[03:48.86]He was silent but his rosary
[03:52.19]Drifted into the custody
[03:55.16]Of a sheriff that was just deputized
[03:59.98]
[04:05.19]And I was down at the banquet hall
[04:11.41]When two guys came up, pretty angry and drunk
[04:18.54]And I'm still here at the banquet hall
[04:23.91]At the banquet hall
[04:27.26]Where the gun went off, in the Carolina Rain
[04:37.11]In the Carolina Rain, in the Carolina Rain
[04:49.76]Oh, Caroline
[04:52.88]
[05:03.12]
[05:19.71]
