Grass dainty and a script of knees from an older brother backyard fight

Only thing he loves is his mama And playing catch with his dad

Can you wrap his mind around ever needing anything more than that?

But meanwhile in Carolina There's a girl in a princess dress

Running through the kitchen and dancing on her bed.

Two stories guide his pain One day he will combine them That boy from Tennessee's never crossed her mind yet

Pretend I was away, she's growing up beside him

Meanwhile in Carolina

Boy grows up writing songs about love, Connie only knows at

Whether in between classes or baseball practices, thinking about girls is same.

And there's a wandering about forever Pray, I was praying

And in a beach town by the water Is this one that sounds the same?

Cause meanwhile in Carolina There's a girl with her best friends Talking about Prince Charming

Planning forever in their hands Two stories got its pain

One day he will combine them That boy from Tennessee's every dream in her mind, but

She's just waiting on the day he comes to find her Meanwhile in Carolina

Give me a ride to Carolina

Meanwhile in Tennessee, every turn he learns something About what it takes to keep her when he finds her And then God lets him in on the secret he's been hiding

Meanwhile in Carolina, there's a girl with eyes of green.

That's everything and more than my mind could ever dream Two stories God was painting

That day that he combined them That boy from Tennessee can't believe how they lined up That girl he was looking for that whole time was

Meanwhile in Carolina

Meanwhile in Carolina
