[Verse 1] Grew up in a small town twenty miles from the state line Learned early on to work hard for what I thought was mine In the town that I call home there are two types of folks Those that find their way out and there's those that don't
[Chorus] And I will give anything to live under those California stars, oh Lord Guess I'll settle on these Carolina scars
[Verse 2] So I packed up like a freight train and I headed towards the lights But the back of my daddy's Chevrolet was as far as I got that Saturday night Like a good drug she got me high, Lord did she let me down And left me here alone to die in this God-forsaken, one-horse town
[Chorus] And I would trade the money that I've made for one night under California stars, oh Lord Guess I'll settle on these Carolina scars
[Verse 3] Now I am not ungrateful, please don't misunderstand Just a gambler out here waitin' on my winnin' hand My daddy taught me the lesson he had to teach himself And to me that's more important than any kind of man-made wealth
[Chorus] And I will return the lessons that I've learned for one night under California stars, oh Lord I'll just settle on these Carolina stars Oh, I'll settle on these Carolina scars Oh, I'll settle on these Carolina scarsTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
