[Intro]
(One, two, three)

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm walkin' in the hills of Carolina
Through the heat as thick as the blood that moves my bones
And I don't think much about nothing in Carolina
But it sure feels nice not walkin' on steel and stone

[Chorus]
And far away from everything that keeps me from You
Acceptance found in walkin' another mile
And the things I left undone
Become the things I'll never do

[Verse 2]
'Cause I'm floatin' on the wind in Carolina
But my feet still slip in the mud that holds me down
And I can't help takin' my time in Carolina
'Cause the highway hummin' might keep me from comin' around

[Chorus]
And far away from everything that keeps me from You
Acceptance found in walkin' another mile
And the things I left undone
Become the things I'll never do
[Bridge]
Long gone, it's only one more minute of another long day
Hold on, it's time I gave back just a little bit of change
And I've never been in such a hurry just to stay

[Verse 3]
'Cause I'm walking in the hills of Carolina
Through the heat as thick as the blood that saved my soul
And there ain't no doubt about nothing in Carolina
'Cause boy, it sure feels nice not living on bread alone, oh

[Chorus]
And far away from everything that keeps me from You
Acceptance found in walkin' another mile
And the things I left undone
Become the things I'll never do

[Outro]
So I think I'll stick around a little while in Carolina
Oh, in Carolina
