Carolina well I'll be damned
They're playing our song
And you ain't holding my hand
If I were a younger boy
I may not understand
The weight of the world
On the back of a man
I begged you to stay
I've done all I can
Please, please don't leave me here
But I couldn't blame you
After all of these years
I tried my hardest to believe
That living was the best for me
And all our saints agree
That the blood will set us free
And they said
The world is a quiet place if you listen carefully
The world is a haunting place if you choose to believe
The world is alive
With you and me
