Down an old dirt road, some forgotten street Dust clouds risin' up from my draggin' feet I can't remember when I last saw her face Seems like such a waste I left with no goodbye, such a whirlwind rush I don't remember why, can't say I remember much Doesn't seem to be a reason to return To bridges burned I've been walkin' day and night, I'm dyin' on my feet Too long since I've had a night of sleep I can hear it callin' me, the love I've known "Come back home" Pearl of Carolina Pearl of Carolina ♪ Been a long time gone, long time left to go I'm not ready yet, still I know Days are gettin' short, the nights are gettin' cold I'm growin' old Given up all I've owned and everything I've gained Of all I thought I wanted only this remains Need to go and see the Pearl of Carolina shine One more time I've been walkin' day and night, I'm dyin' on my feet Too long since I've had a night of sleep I can hear it callin' me, the love I've known "Come back home" Pearl of Carolina Pearl of Carolina ♪ I've been walkin' day and night, I'm dyin' on my feet Too long since I've had a night of sleep I can hear it callin' me, the love I've known "Come back home" Pearl of Carolina Pearl of Carolina Pearl of Carolina
