lyrics

On the south side of South Carolina
Laying in my lover's arms
I watch her eyes slowly closing
And all I feel is the beating of her heart
I'm riding hard that highway come the morning
With a quick rush of blood to my head
And the thoughts they surround me with no warning
Like a needle weaving its thread

And I don't know what the future has in store
But I've done this drive a hundred times before

Now some things look nice above the dice
hanging from my rear view
But every time I cross that state line
All I'm seeing is you


On the north side of North Carolina
Being guided by a fiery north star
Now if you feel the same way as I do Jessie
Come a'rushin' into these arms
Cus there's chumps burnin' down this highway
I got a soft bed where you can lay
By the time you arrive I'll have it made
That'll be the day

And you don't know what the future has in store
But you've done this drive a hundred times before

Now some things can hide right in plain sight
Best to just take in the view
But every time you cross that state line
You're taking my heart with you


On the south side of South Carolina
In the splendor of the freshly cut grass
My lover's got her arm across her forehead
And I'm laying looking up on my back
And there's questions in her eyes I can't answer
And there's dreams in my head I can't speak
But when the time comes we'll just surrender
Just sit back and let it all be

And we don't know what the future has in store
But we've done this drive a hundred times before

When you've been around the block
and you finally stop
There's a choice you just have to choose
Cus some things you fight for
and some things you die for
We can't win but we don't have to lose

Now every time I cross that state line
