Going through Carolina
[Intro]
G Em C D
[Chorus]
G Em
If you only knew what I'm going through
C D G
Going through Carolina
G Em
With every winding turn another memory burns
C D G
Going through Carolina
[Verse 1]
G Em
This open road and 18 wheels keep me rolling
C D
and you off my mind most of the time
G Em
but all of that just goes right out the window
C D
when I cross that Carolina line
[Verse 2]
G Em
This east coast run sure does make me lonesome
C D
by far it's not my favorite one to do
G Em
and I can't say the scenery ain't pretty
C D
but it seems I'm always looking for you
[Chorus]
G Em
If you only knew what I'm going through
C D G
Going through Carolina
G Em
With every winding turn another memory burns
C D G
Going through Carolina
[Break]
[Verse 3]
G Em
I just past that little hotel on I40
C D
where we stayed when they shut down the interstate
G Em
and I asked you to marry me next morning
C D
yeah girl I know you know the place
[Verse 4]
G Em
I'll shutdown somewhere tonight outside of Raleigh
C D
then head on to the coast to drop this load
G Em
and do my best to stop my hands from shaking
C D
when I pass the exit for your road
[Chorus]
G Em
If you only knew what I'm going through
C D G
Going through Carolina
G Em
With every winding turn another memory burns
C D G
Going through Carolina
