Carolina’s Calling (But You’ll Settle For None)


Has summer begun its terminal shuffle?
Leaves are starting to burn up on the Blue Ridge
We didn’t find time – we just picked up side-jobs
And made them excuses ‘til we were excused

Carolina’s calling
But you settle for none
Carolina’s calling
But you settle for none
Carolina’s calling
But you settle for none
Until there are none
To settle for
Until there are none
For you to settle for

No more back to school – the diplomas been framed
It would be nice to linger, but there’s nothing to claim
Now lord knows I’ll always be a Virginia boy
But I don’t see the dogwoods like hawthorns ‘round you

And Carolina’s calling
But you settle for none
Carolina’s calling
But you settle for none
Carolina’s calling
But you settle for none
Until there are none
To settle for
Until there are none
For you to settle for

Carolina’s calling
But you settle for none
Carolina’s calling
But you settle for none
Carolina’s calling
But you settle for none
Until there are none
To settle for
Until there are none
For you to settle for
