Carolina Line

(Rhett Akins/Bruce Burch/Vern Dant)
I guess she caught that plane early this morning '
Cause that "I've decided to stay" call never came
And right about now
Lord she's nearly back to
Asheville
I'm staring out at a south
Georgia rain
Wonderin' if
I'll ever touch her again
If there were only miles between us
I'd be there in a good days drive
But the last time
I held her
I saw the distance in her eyes
She once crossed the
Blue Ridge
Mountains
And swore that she'd be mine
But she never brought her heart across
The Carolina line
She always said this place felt just like home
But she had memories she never did unpack
And even in my arms holdin' me close
She never let go of the past
Or the one who kept callin' her back
If there were only miles between us
I'd be there in a good days drive
But the last time
I held her
I saw the distance in her eyes
She must have missed those
Blue Ridge
Mountains
Or someone she left behind '
Cause I never got her heart across
The Carolina line
When she crossed the
Blue Ridge
Mountains
ANd left me here behind
Lord knows she took my heart across
That Carolina line
