The best years of my life were when I would go visit family in North Carolina when I was a boy.
Lyrics
Carolina boy
©2003 C. Frehley
I been livin’ in the city, ‘cause I’m my Daddy’s son
And I remember summertimes were filled with so much fun
‘Cause Daddy’d pack up all the family, we’d head out early
in the morn’
For the healin’ rays of the Southern sun
Where my Mamma’s heart was born
I thought bein’ on the mean streets was all there was for me
Tryin’ to make a livin’ and raise my family
Through all the good times and bad times
And times I almost died
Lookin’ back I wish I’d listened to the boy who’s deep inside
There’s a Carolina boy inside of me
And I know someday he’ll take me home to where I want to be
There’s an achin’ in my heart and it’s tearin’ me apart
Cause that Southern boy’s the man’s the man I want to be
When I feel that sweet sun on my face
I just can’t find a reason to stay caught up in this race
Sometimes I just need some wide open space
That’s why I can’t find a reason to stay caught up in this race
There’s a Carolina boy inside of me
And I know some day he’ll take me home to where I want to be
I’ve got this achin’ in my heart and it’s tearin’ me apart
Cause that Southern boy’s the man I want to be
Cause that Southern boy’s the man I want to be
