Carolina Rain Lyrics - 29 - Ryan Adams

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, 

I pulled into Mecklenburg on them trains 

Into a station that got flooded when they opened up the dam 

And broke their connections to the railway lines 

So they could blast into the quarry, 

And for every load of granite, 

We got a ton of worry

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 meal 

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 

Percy and I moved down the street 

Until we lost two pretty girls 

One was seven and one was three 

Alderman and Caroline owned the house right up the hill 

Where we laid those babies down 

So they could still see our house 

Photos 

Suspicion got the best of old Alderman Haint 

He owned an auto parts store off the interstate 

But the lord took him home in July 

And then Rose spilled the beans on the day that he died 

and we was in trouble 

I should've told him that you were the one for me 

But I lied, But I lied 

Tied up to concrete at the bottom of the quarry 

With a tattoo on his heart that spelled out "Caroline" 

He was silent but his rosary well it 

Drifted into the custody 

Of a sheriff that was just deputized 

And I was down at the banquet hall 

When two guys came up, pretty angry and drunk 

And I'm still here at the banquet hall 

At the banquet hall 

Where the gun went off, in the Carolina Rain 

In the Carolina Rain, in the Carolina Rain 

Oh, Caroline
