G C
Every scream went bleeding
Am C
through these paper walls
G C Am
and all the makeup in the world
C
couldn't hide the scars
G C
I leave today, I'm packing light
Am C
a suitcase, some toiletries
G C Am C
The rolling hills and willow trees of Carolina wait for me
G C
You never learned,
Am C
the rules have changed since we were nine
G C
This isn't school
Am C
boys don't assault the girls they like
G C
The taste of blood, the claim of love
Am C
these two will here on cease to be
G
sprouting from your fists
C Am C
and tongue 'cause Carolina waits for me
G C Am C
Fields of grain go whipping by from the window seat
G C
I'm drifting in,
Am C
I'm drifting out catching up on sleep
G C Am C
I couldn't get Indentured since the very crest of 17
G C Am C
I left my keys and broken dreams 'cause Carolina waits for me
G C Am C
I will never forgive a single day
G C Am C G
Mile markers seem to call my name and say, you're safer now.
C Am C G
Through every town, we'll light your way in reflective green all the way"
C Am C G
The entire state of Carolina waits for me
