Carolina Rose - Gloriana

Ever since we took

that midnight drive

Down to see the water

in the full moon sky

And I told you I loved you

on the blue creek road

Well I was full-on fallen

for my Carolina Rose

I spent the next few years

just singing my songs

With Rose in the front

row singing along

'Til I got that call

had to hit that road

Man how am I gonna

leave my Carolina Rose

Yeah the big time

is everything I ever wanted

But the spotlight

can't hold a candle to you

Standing up here

on this stage

They all say Man

you got it made

They don't know

It don't mean a thing

without my Carolina Rose

I met a California girl

on a west coast run

She sparkled

like a diamond

in the setting sun

They called me crazy

when I let her go

I just couldn't stop thinking

about my Carolina Rose

Yeah the big time

is everything I ever wanted

But the spotlight

can't hold

a candle to you

Standing up here

on this stage

They all say Man

you got it made

They don't know

It don't mean a thing

without my Carolina Rose

I've been halfway

around the world

Just to come back to you

I hope I ain't too late

And I hope that you're still

thinking about me too

I'm back here standing

on your front porch

It's been five years baby

but it feels like more

Well let me drive

you down

that blue creek road

I got something

to say to my Carolina Rose

Yeah the big time

was everything

I ever wanted

But the spotlight

can't hold a candle to you

Standing up there

on that stage

It might look like

I got it made

But my heart knows

It don't mean

a thing without

my Carolina Rose

No it don't mean

a thing without

my Carolina Rose

Yeah it don't mean

a thing without

my Carolina Rose
