C G D Em C G D


[Verse 1]

      C                      G          D                   Em
It was laying pennies on the rail's and sneaking off to chew Red Man
         C                    G                      D
It was a Friday night win and followed by a Saturday bruise
        C                    G                D           Em
It was a first Blue Ribbon my dad and I drank, baptized on Glenville lake
 C                             G                  D
A tear in our eyes the night we lost all we had to lose


[Chorus]

      G                
That tobacco town where I grew up
   C
The tailgate down on a jacked up truck
  Em
A ring we earned cause we owned that state
 D
A tombstone with my daddy's name
     G
Now the six string dream on a crazy course
   C
Has got my compass losing North
      Em              D               C
And I need someone to remind me who I am
                C G D Em C G D
Oh, Carolina can


[Verse 2]

      C                   G
It was faded blue denim on Franklin Street
  D                  Em
A "He's Not" buzz, a house band beat
         C                     G                 D 
It was a summer heat dragging me to a fifth year fall
       C                        G
It was classes skipped cause the room couldn't teach
        D                    Em
What we learned three days on Wrightsville beach
        C                G
With my high school love, short hair
              D
And that sweet hometown southern drawl


[Chorus]

      G                
That tobacco town where I grew up
   C
The tailgate down on a jacked up truck
  Em
A ring we earned cause we owned that state
 D
A tombstone with my daddy's name
     G
Now the six string dream on a crazy course
   C
Has got my compass losing North
      Em              D               C
And I need someone to remind me who I am
                C G D Em C G D
Yeah, Carolina can


[Bridge]

   C               G
Now two time zones, ten states away
D              Em
Another night, another show to play
    C                G              D
Well hey Mr. Taylor, she ain't only on your mind


[Chorus]

      G                
That tobacco town where I grew up
   C
The tailgate down on a jacked up truck
  Em
A ring we earned cause we owned that state
 D
A tombstone with my daddy's name
     G
Now the six string dream on a crazy course
   C
Has got my compass losing North
      Em              D               C
And I need someone to remind me who I am
                C G D Em C G D C G D Em C G D 
Oh, Carolina can   (TAG) Carolina can
