From the recording It's a Very Good Life
Lyrics
One More Carolina
by Dianne Bochsler
I lost a lover down in Shulerville
I guess I took it pretty hard
We always told each other everything
He said goodbye across the yard
There was another out in Florence Bay
His dark eyes haunt me like a song
All he left me was a faded note
In his pocket way too long
And there’s one more Carolina
Driving up old 95
Just 10 miles outside that border town
And sweet Virginia on my side
I met a sailor at the outer banks
Fell in love during low tide
I said there ain’t no ocean wide enough…
Well he sure took me for a ride
I found my soulmate out by Kitty Hawk
I thought the love we had was true
But we never got it off the ground
Then one day that guy just flew
Chorus
That’s why I’m driving on old 95
It’s time I headed way up North
Or maybe West to the Pacific side
The South has thrown me off my course
