Oh My Sweet Carolina written by Ryan Adams

vox aren't miced and piano is pretty loud... but it's such a gorgeous old piano. dead keys and all.

lyrics:

I went down to Houston
And I stopped in San Antone
I passed up the station for the bus
I was trying to find me something
But I wasn't sure just what
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust

So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
I was spending money like the way it likes to rain
Man I ended up with pockets full of cane

Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go?
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home

I ain't never been to Vegas, but I gambled up my life
Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains
Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
Funny how they say that some things never change

Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go?
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home

Up here in the city feels like things are closing in
The sunset's just my light bulb burning out
I miss kentucky and I miss my family
All the sweetest winds they blow across the south

Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go?
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home

One of the small people talking there out of heart for you sir. Im a fan and love to hear you sing. I told you a long time ago i'd come a way to see you sing... put up some gigs... it'd be like we were already there,

[pianomanhome]

Why are you still behind the scene? That's what all your fans want to know. I hope you get the education and come back to music.... You could be someone...You singing can make people understand their complexites with your voice and words and sound and feeling. Figure it out
