Caroline lyrics

Now I met an old money, his mouth was made of trash He liked to travel, but he don’t carry cash It was five bones a day. That’s the price that he payed And I made sure as hell he was dead to me Now he had a girl, name of Caroline Pearl And she was soft and sweet She was made of salt and that weren’t her fault And her hands were soft like slavery I muscled white for your love I tore down the night for your love I broke the chains I broke the grave I did it all for your love She was heavy up top, that shows she sweetens her tea I was showing my teeth that shows she’s sweet to me And I struck the good book, with a double edged sword God sent my mother, I don’t fight God no more It was full steam ahead, land ho, is that Tennessee I saw myself, hang myself up in the family tree And you got to understand. It wasn’t part of the plan You work a good job, and I work the land I muscled white for your love I tore down the night for your love I broke the chains I broke the grave I did it all for your love Caroline, Caroline, Caroline, girl be mine Now I went down to the southern most part of my life I hit the ground I bit hard I broke the blade off the knife I mined your face I searched your skin for something young Some sort of trace some sort of sign Man it was done.
