Lyrics
Out along the road of no return
Silence rules the day and knows no friend
The trouble passed and all her tribe adjourned
To watch her dreams unravel in the wind
But each new morning sunrise is just as good as gold
And all the hope inside you will keep you from the cold
Bare your soul, let your spirit burn
Out along the road of no return
The sweet smell of nighttime rides on the breeze
The river is winding through the hickory trees
The redbones are howling down by Wilson's Bridge
The lawmen stand waiting upon Dead Man's Ridge
Ooh Carolina, so dark I can't see
Ooh Carolina, won't you let me go free?
I came here with Lily a year just last fall
We left her old daddy back in Donegal
We made us a home place of black mouth and stone
But one cold winter morning I woke up alone
Ooh Carolina, so dark I can't see
Ooh Carolina, won't you let me go free?
Days full of silence so incomplete
Nights without Lily I took to the street
And in the streets of Asheville I channeled my pain
'Til one late black night I slept in the rain
I dreamed of a refuge, a refuge
Was one of the girls
I loved her so madly
I loved her so long
I woke with my dream girl
But her life was all gone
Ooh, Carolina
So dark I can't see
Ooh, Carolina
Won't you let me go free?
Love has no boundary
Sorrow no end
And the lawmen of Asheville
Had no mercy in them
Ooh, Carolina
So dark I can't see
Ooh, Carolina
Won't you let me go free?
Let me reach Tennessee
