Ever since we took that midnight drive
Down to see the water in the full moon sky
I told you I loved you on the blue creek road
I was full-on fallen' for my Carolina Rose
I Spent the next few years just singing my songs
With Rosey in the front row singing along
'Til I got that call had to hit that road
Man how am I gonna leave my Carolina Rose
Chorus:
Yeah the big time
Was everything I ever wanted
But the spotlight
Can't hold a candle to you
STandin' up here on this stage
They all say "Man, you've got it made"
Bu they don't know
It don't mean a thing without my Carolina Rose
Met a California girl on a west coast run
She sparkled like a diamond in the setting sun
They called me crazy when I let her go
I just couldn't stop thinking' 'bout my Carolina Rose
Repeat Chorus
I been halfway around the world
Just to come back to you
I hope I ain't too late
And I hope that you're still thinkin' 'bout me
Too
'Cause now I'm back here standing' on your front porch
It's been five years baby but it feels like more
Oh let me drive you down that Blue Creek Road
I got something to say to my Carolina Rose
Well the big time was everything I wanted
But the spotlight
Can't hold a candle to you
Standin' up there on that stage
It might look like I got it made
But my heart knows
It don't mean a thing without my Carolina Rose
No, it don't mean a thing without my Carolina Rose
Yeah it don't mean a thing without my Carolina Rose
