April lay in your hands The sign of rain for the year You knew the time had come at last Your heart no longer called you here Oh, carolina, something's wrong You've lost the wind in your sails And now you float to a land And you pray the ground will not fail 'Cause everybody had one good year Everybody let their long hair down Everybody had one bad dream Everybody saw the bright sun shine Everybody had one hard time Everybody had a real good time Everybody pulled one sock up Everybody put one foot down You could say that this is fate That left you alone standing here It's like you've traded the world for A chance, a ship to steer You face the mirror on the wall You hold a knife to your hair You fill the sink with your curls For the life you a have spread 'Cause everybody had one good year.
