(Randy Owen)      Somewhere in the mountains in northern Alabama   The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee   Somewhere in a motel out in Oklahoma   There's the Alabama dreamer   That same man from Tennessee.      Sometime late that night the lonely wakes her gently   And knocks at her door but she won't give in   But like every other woman she needs to feel wanted   She thinks of making love and goes to sleep again.      Carolina dreamin' lonely   Carolina can't you see   You will always be the lady   That I dream of holding tight   That I kiss and tell goodnight   Carolina mountain dewe.      Sometime that next day on a Mississippi freeway   The Alabama dreamer is homeward bound   His conscious is as clear as those green eyes of Carolina   And she's waiting with the baby from the love   Of the only man to lay her down.      Carolina dreaming lonely   Carolina can't you see   You will always be the lady   That I dream of holding tight   That I kiss and tell goodnight   Carolina mountain dewe.      Carolina I love you...
