Michael Scotto - Carolina Girl (Rock Version)

Ode to a girl I briefly dated at the start of my Sophomore year at NC State. All she wanted to do was go to Chapel Hill. Original lyrics penned in 1985. This is the rock version of the original acoustic. Both, plus full version of this song, and many more tracks can be heard at Soundcloud.

Carolina girl
the sun won't shine
Carolina girl
till you are mine
Carolina girl
The world's passing by
Carolina girl
I just can't cry
Anymore

When push comes to shove
And the inevitable tests come
Watcha gonna do
Carolina girl?

When time slips away
and the summer boys won't play
Watcha gonna say
Carolina girl?

Carolina girl
It's hard to sleep
Carolina girl
with a love this deep
Carolina girl
The waves are getting high
Carolina girl
and I just can't try
Anymore

When push comes to shove
And the inevitable tests come
Watcha gonna do
Carolina girl?

When time slips away
and the summer boys won't play
Watcha gonna say
Carolina girl?

Carolina girl
Look at me!

Why does it have to hurt so bad
just 'cause you love her so
Why does she have to look so good
I'm only human, you know

Why does she have to be so cruel
when all I want is her hand
Why can't she just look my way
I've got the whole thing planned!

Carolina girl
I'm fading fast
Carolina girl
the die’s been cast
Carolina girl
the sea’s rolling away
Carolina girl
and I just can’t play
anymore…

No, I just can’t play
anymore…

Carolina girl
