Verse 1

He said the storm is getting stronger

 [bm]

as he climbed inside my truck

I'm headed back to carolina

 [bm]

Gods will and any luck

He told me how he left his family

 [bm]

so many years ago

And he'd seen the whole world on the shoulders

 [bm]

but now it's time to go back home

Chorus

and he said this road goes on forever

 [bm]

I've been travelin all my life

and I've seen the rain I've felt the thunder

 [bm]

but it never changed my mind

  [bm] -

I'm going back to caroline

Verse 2

I dropped him off at the state line

then I thought about my life

and everything I left behind me

two children and my wife

I left them waiting for a phone call

well that was twenty days ago

now I'm in for the long haul

and it's time to go back home

Chorus ii

and this damn road keeps getting longer

I've been travelin it sometime

and I've seen the rain, and felt the thunder...roll on

and it never changed my mind

Im going back to caroline
