Carrboro woman, won't you come with me   There's some place I want to go   And I don't want to go alone   But what I want ain't what I need   And something else you ought to know   That if you come, you're on your own   I'm no good at riding side by side    I travel lean   And I will try my best to be   To you no burden, weight, or beast   I hope it's clear and that you understand    As we take each other's hands   You ain't my woman   And woman, I am not your man      I do believe we all belong and everything that's right and wrong   Comes from a light that you can't see but if you try   You can feel it swell and rise slowly reaching out to find you   Open the door ain't nobody yours   So there ain't no reason to run from all you're losing      I came upon a wounded beast   She was lying in the sand   Her heart held in her hand   How do you pretend to try   To save a thing that's meaning to die   Do you try or walk on by   So Carrboro woman, won't you walk with me   There's some place I have to go   And I don't want to go alone   And if what you want ain't where I'll be   Then my love I'll understand   You ain't my woman   And woman, I am not your man
