Carolina Rain Ryan Adams

[Verse 1]
Rose lived on the south side of town
Until her landlord showed up with two hundred dollar bills
A notice of eviction on the other hand
Now she don't live there no more
And everyone thinks he drowned

[Verse 2]
I pulled into Mecklenburg on them trains
Into a station that was flooded when they opened up the dam
And broke their connections to the railway lines
So they could blast into the quarry
For every load of granite
We got a ton of worry

[Verse 3]
One night at the diner over eggs
Over easy she showed me the length of her legs
But that gold plated cross on her neck, it was real
And you don't get that kind of money from pushing a meal

[Chorus]
And I should've told him that you were the one for me
But I lied, but I lied
To most any drifter whose looking for work is too weird
I met your sister and I married her in July
But if only to be closer to you, Caroline
