Little roadside restaurant   We artfully complain   Groovy tells the waitress   That his chicken died in vain      Most every day goes by   According to design   I live this dream but still it seems   I have you on my mind      From the bottom of my heart   Off the coast of Carolina   After one or two false starts   I believe we found our stride      And the walls that won't come down   We can decorate or climb   Or find some way to get around   'Cause I'm still on your side   From the bottom of my heart      I can't see the future   But I know it's coming fast   It's not that hard to wind up   Knee deep in the past      There's come a lot of Mondays   Since that phone booth that first night   Years and miles and tears and smiles   I wanna get it right      From the bottom of my heart   Off the coast of Carolina   After one or two false starts   I believe we found our stride      And the walls that won't come down   We can decorate or climb   Or find some way to get around   'Cause I'm still on your side   From the bottom of my heart      These days, I'm up   About the time I used to go to bed   Living large was once the deal   Now I watch the stars instead      They're timeless and predictable   Unlike most things that I do   But I tell the wind and my old friend   I'm headed home to you      From the bottom of my heart   Off the coast of Carolina   After one or two false starts   I believe we found our stride      And the walls that won't come down   Here, we can decorate or climb   Or find some way to get around   'Cause I'm still on your side   From the bottom of my heart   From the bottom of my heart
