Somewhere in the mountains.........in northern Alabama

The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee

Somewhere in a motel......out in Oklahoma

There's the Alabama dreamer

That same man from Tennessee



Sometime late at night......the lonely wakes her gently

And knocks at her door......but she won't give in

But like every other woman........She needs to feel wanted

She thinks of making love.......and goes to sleep again



Carolina.........dreamin' lonely

Carolina.........can't you see

You will always be the lady.....

That I dream of holding tight.....

That I kiss and tell goodnight.....

Carolina.......mountain dewe



Sometime that next day.....on a Mississippi freeway

The Alabama dreamer........is homeward bound

His conscious is as clear........as those green eyes of Carolina

And she's waiting with the baby from the love..............of the only man to

lay her down



Carolina..........dreaming lonely

Carolina..........can't you see

You will always be the lady

That I dream of holding tight

That I kiss and tell goodnight

Carolina......mountain dewe

Carolina..........I love you
