Somewhere in the mountains in northern Alabama

Sometime late at night the lonely wakes her gently

She thinks of making love and goes to sleep again

Sometime that next day on a Mississippi freeway

The Alabama dreamer is homeward bound

His conscious is as clear, as those green eyes of Carolina

And she's waiting with the baby from the love

Of the only man to lay her down
[Chorus]

That I dream of holding tight

That I kiss and tell goodnight

Carolina, mountain dewe

Carolina, I love you
