Carolina Story Long Way South lyrics

(*Written by Emily Olson and Ben Roberts)


I see my breath*
In the cold northern air
It holds my conversation
With the man standing there

I clear my throat
As I ask for my pass
He says there’s no turning back
On this one way track

I’m on my way
I’m on my way

It’s a long way south
I hope the stars stay out
It’s a long way south
I hope the stars stay out


He cries all aboard
As I take that step right through the door
The final whistle blows
As I take my seat next to the window

Sitting right next to me
Was a man he said to call him Destiny
The wheels start to roll
As he turns and says never lose hope

I’m on my way
I’m on my way

It’s a long way south
I hope the stars stay out
It’s a long way south
I hope the stars stay out
