The unthinkable will never happen here....

(Verse 1) When I’m walkin’ I strut my stuff, man I’m so strung out
I’m high as a kite I just might stop to check you out

(Chorus)Let me go on like I blister in the sun,
Let me go on big hands I know you’re the one

(Verse 2)Body and beats I stain my sheets I don’t even know why
My girlfriend she’s at the end she is starting to cry

(Chorus)Let me go on like I blister in the sun,
Let me go on big hands I know you’re the one…

(Verse 1)When I’m walkin’ I strut my stuff, man I’m so strung out
I’m high as a kite I just might stop to check you out

(Verse 1) When I’m walkin’ I strut my stuff, man I’m so strung out
I’m high as a kite I just might stop to check you out

(Verse 2) Body and beats I stain my sheets I don’t even know why
My girlfriend she’s at the end she is starting to cry

(Verse 1) When I’m out walkin’ I strut my stuff man I’m so strung out
I’m high as a kite I just might stop to check you out

(Chorus) Let me go on like I blister in the sun
Let me go on big hands I know you’re the one

Every scream went bleeding through these paper walls
And all the make-up in the world couldn’t hide the scars
I leave today, I’m packing light: a suitcase, some toiletries
The rolling hills and willow trees of Carolina wait for me

You never learned, the rules have changed since we were nine
This isn’t school, boys don’t assault the girls they like

The taste of blood, the claim of love
these two will here on cease to be Sprouting from your fists and tongue ‘cause Carolina waits for me

Fields of grain go whipping by from the window seat
I’m drifting in, I’m drifting out catching up on sleep
I couldn’t get indentured since the very crest of 17
I left my keys and broken dreams ‘cause Carolina waits for me

I will never forgive a single day
Mile markers seem to call my name and say,
“You’re safer now through every town, we’ll light your way in reflective green” All the way, the entire state of Carolina waits for me
