Wonderin' if I'll ever touch her again
The Carolina line
If there were only miles between us
She once crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains
But she never brought her heart across
If there were only miles between us
I saw the distance in her eyes
Or someone she left behind
And swore that she'd be mine
When she crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains
But she had memories she never did unpack
And left me here behind
But the last time I held her
But the last time I held her
Or the one who kept callin' her back
Lord knows she took my heart across
I saw the distance in her eyes
And even in my arms holdin' me close
I'd be there in a good days drive
And right about now, Lord, she's nearly back to Asheville
I'm staring out at a South Georgia rain
She never let go of the past
I'd be there in a good days drive
She must have missed those Blue Ridge Mountains
'Cause I never got her heart across
The Carolina line
She always said this place felt just like home
