Carolina Blue

G           D          Em 
No, I can't lie them downtown lights 
        C 
And that skyline caught my eye for a minute 
G           D          Em 
Been working too much, not living enough 
        C 
I guess I just got caught up in it 
G           D          Em 
Yeah, I could really use a slow-down 
        C 
And I bet back home right now 



G           D          Em 
Well, that sun's probably setting down up over that ridge 
        C 
Bet Mama's got something cooking on the stove 
G           D          Em 
And Dad's out back, hooking up that boat to that hitch 
        C 
'Cause in the morning he's hitting our honey hole 
G           D          Em 
Wish I was sitting on that back porch 
        C 
Rocking back and forth and talking like we always do 
G           D          Em         C 
Yeah, I'm doing fine, but tonight I'm kinda Carolina blue 


C           G          D 
If I left right now, in four or five hours 
        Em 
Well, I'd be turning down that gravel drive 
C           G          D 
Yeah, but I'm sitting here in Tennessee, sipping on this whiskey 
        Em 
Wishing it was Smokey Mountain shine 



G           D          Em 
Well, that sun's probably setting down up over that ridge

G           D 
Oh, Carolina blue 



Am          C          G 
I don't make it back as much as I'd like 
        D 
But it's always on my mind
