Somewhere in the mountains, in northern Alabama The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee And somewhere in a motel out in Oklahoma There´s the Alabama dreamer, that same man from Tennessee
Sometime late at 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, 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
