hammertowne - carolina waits lyrics

[verse 1]
he sat there on his tractor starin’ at that old gray weathered barn
every year it keeps on gettin’ harder to make a livin’ on this farm
the drought was unforgiving, burned all his crops up in the ground
he could use a little extra work, but he’ll have to leave this town

[verse 2]
in the west virginia coal mines, found some work that he could do
he’s always had a strong back and a knack for usin’ tools
he’s leavin’ in the mornin’, headed for those dusty hills
but he’ll be comin’ home in the spring to plant the new crops in the field
[chorus]
hе left a lot of memories in thе foothills back at home
and he left behind the only true love his heart had ever known
when he leaves west virginia, he’ll be goin’ home to stay
nestled in the carolina foothills, carolina waits

[verse 3]
diggin’ coal ain’t easy, but he was always there on time
they all made him feel right at home; everyone was so kind
he made enough to pay the bills, put some back along the way
and tonight when his last shift is done, he’s headin’ home to stay

[verse 4]
the late news broke the story: no one made it out in time
all his dreams of goin’ home were laid bare in that west virginia mine
the southbound train is rollin’, takin’ him back home to stay
to those hills in the carolina foothills where carolina waits

[chorus]
he left a lot of memories in the foothills back at home
and he left behind the only true love his heart had ever known
when he leaves west virginia, he’ll be goin’ home to stay
nestled in the carolina foothills, carolina waits
nestled in the carolina foothills, carolina waits
