Carolina Morning by Mickey and the Motorcars
Girl when I left you my poor old heart was breaking
Because I know your love for me is right
But the sun will rise on you in Carolina
And it’ll set on me in Tennessee tonight
I’ve had Carolina mornings and California nights
Good times and places in between
I’m bound to be alright
But it feels so good that it’s understood
I’ll show up without a warning
And I’ll love you on a Carolina morning
Tomorrow I’ll leave for California
After that I might go home to Idaho
But the sun will rise on you in Carolina
Yeah and where it sets on me I just don’t know
I’ve had Carolina mornings, California nights
Good times and places in between
I’m bound to be alright
But it feels so good that it’s understood
I’ll show up without a warning
And I’ll love you on a Carolina morning
Carolina {I remember you} Charlie Daniels. Go to Amazon and look up his Full Moon CD then listen to the sample of Carolina. If it was a song about remembering parts of someones life growing up this is likely the song.
This song’s getting a lot of airplay on my local Americanna stations....
Brandi Carlisle and Elton John
Lyrics to Caroline :
I woke up long after dawn
Twenty years had come and gone
I know when it changed for me
A day in June you came to me
I’ve seen through someone else’s eyes
Nothing on the other side
Every motel,
Every town
Pieces scattered all around
Promises that I can’t be
Someone’s heart that I can’t keep
Days so long I couldn’t speak
Roads so rocky I could not sleep
I’ve seen things so beautiful, all around this broken world
They pale in comparison to you
Caroline, I’m on my way back home to you
Can’t imagine what I’ve been going through
Without you by my side
It’s been a long, long time
Oh, won’t you say a prayer for me
I hope you will remember me
you’re always on my mind
I have seen the canyon lands
Crooked lines like in your hands
You’d swear the earth was split in two
I wouldn’t lie, I promise you
I have seen it, you will too
You would not believe if not for
Photographs I took for you, Caroline
They’ve built towers to the sky
It hurts sometimes to watch them try
They run themselves into the ground
But I know you will love them
City lights and city sounds
There’s beauty in the struggle
Anytime it gets me down
I see you smilin’
Caroline, I’m way back home to you
Can’t imagine what I been going through
Without you by my side
It’s been a long, long time
Oh, won’t you say a prayer for me
I hope that you remember me
You’re always on my mind, my Caroline
I have seen things in the sky
Stars and lights and birds and I,
I’ve been rocky mountain high, told them all about you
Because you are still the only thing that constantly amazes me
I love the road and I’ve been blessed
I love you best.
Caroline, I’m on my way back home to you
Can’t imagine what I’ve been going through
Without you by my side
It’s been a long, long time
Oh won’t you say a prayer for me
You’re always on my mind, oh always on my mind
My Caroline
Lyrics “Carolina” - Matt Wertz
Tennessee, January
Everything, ordinary
You’re unlike anything I’ve seen
Is this how I really feel?
Or just another heart to steal
To fuel the song that’s underneath
Carolina, you will have to forgive me
Carolina, this is just my tendancy
I pass another day wasting
Thoughts on what’s ahead asking
What if and why not and who’s to say?
All I really know of you
you’re just as lonely too
Cuz desperate hearts are hearts that need someone
I’m careless sometimes
I’m sure that you’ll find
But that’s not how
I want to live my life
I wanna to be sure
But don’t know how to
How hard I try
Beach Boys “Oh, Caroline, no”
Very very very lib, but it’s a great song.
“Dont Care fer Lima beans”? ...I think Hank Williams used to sing that
What about this one? It’s a George Strait song called ‘Adalida’, but for a long time I thought he was saying ‘Carolina’...

This thread is turning into those free association Bing TV ads.
Hartman’s Heartbreakers - A Night In Carolina
Jimmy Rodgers - My Carolina Sunshine Girl 1928
The Swing Billies - Moonshine In The North Carolina Hills 1937
All of the above are OLD!!!
My BEST guess is the 2008 hit single ... Lee Brice, Carolina Boys

A Big Thanks To Both Of You!
I watched the video and indeed, “Adalida” was the song I heard when I was done in Fort Myers.
Sweet! I win at the internet!
Hey, I was there, too, at least in a supporting role. :-)
Sorry, but you’ve been thrown under the bus. My path to Internet Mastery must not be impeded by those who assist me... ;-P
I guess one with long elegant legs can get away with being cruel, if you are a woman, of course.
Aw, I’m just kidding. I hereby appoint you Czar of Youtube.
Great! That is not quite as good as Queen of the Internet but I’ll take it.
