I can smell the pines sweet Carolina's on my mind
I still feel that mountain breeze whisperin' through the trees
Tears fell from her eyes I held her as we said goodbye
She knew I didn't want to go but here I am tonight alone

Dreaming Carolina dreams in Tennessee
And someday soon I'll have her here with me
Until then she knows I miss her and tonight I'll go to sleep
Dreaming Carolina dreams in Tennessee

The cotton mill shut down they laid off folks for miles around
I had to leave to find some work the hardest part was leaving her
Nashville Tennessee it'd be beautiful if she was with me
But alone it's just another place till I close my eyes and see her face
I'm dreaming Carolina dreams

Though we're miles apart we're sharing the same moon
When it's shining on her it's shining on me too

I'm dreaming Carolina dreams in Tennessee
And someday soon I'll have her here with me
I'm dreaming Carolina dreams Carolina dreams, Carolina dreams
