Carolina (I hear you calling) Lyrics

One of the memories that stays on my mind About an old southern lady that I left behind Is a ramshackle bridge where the deep river winds And an old two-lane blacktop through the tall long-leaf pines
Carolina, Carolina You're hard, but you're hard to forget
I still remember the magnolia nights And goose feather snow in the gray morning light Sand spurs and puppies and red autumn leaves And warm lights in the clear night on a cold Christmas Eve
Carolina, Carolina You're hard, but you're hard to forget
Carolina, I knew you before the highways got to you And I loved you as one of your own And I still do
Carolina, Carolina You're hard, but you're hard to forget You're hard to forget
