[Chorus]
I fell asleep in Carolina
And I woke up a better man

I feel asleep in Carolina
And I will do the best I can


Carolina love
Make ya wanna feel
Make ya wanna dance

Like it's all surreal
Drunk off a summer night
Warm to the skin

I lost my mind
Queen City took me in
I had a tendency

Just to let it go
Never thought much about
The consequences though

I guess you never do
When you're on the road
But Carolina showed

Me I could feel home

Just a California kid

Who loves to go down south
Myrtle Beach spring break
Chapel Hill now

Triangle to the Triad
I had some of the best nights
I never called my bad

Have you ever done something
That you swore was a dream
So good one night but you can't believe

Did happen or did your mind conceive
I'll be back Carolina don't forget about me


Morning could wait
I fall to pieces
But I don't care

I'm on my way
Leaving for reasons
But I'll be there

I'll be there

I'm a mess

I'm alive
What I did in the night
Just to live with the thought

Makes it real
I'm real
Life in this state

Makes the mind try to take
Me away and erase
What I feel

It's real
