Carolina Rain

Rhiannon Giddens

Lyrics
Baby, where'd the time go?
Feel it flying by
All that work I thought I had to do
But everything I could ever want
I see it in your eyes
All I really care about is you

Let's go down to Mebbin Town
Where the flatlands start to rise
Cut a stalk of that sweet sorghum cane
Listen to the whippoorwills and watch the fireflies
Wash ourselves in Carolina rain

It's true that we were younger once
And now we're growing old
Baby, we don't want the things we wanted then
Why chase that dollar?
My baby's got a heart of gold
I know that we will find ourselves again

Let's go down to Mebbin Town
Where the flatlands start to rise
Cut a stalk of that sweet sorghum cane
Listen to the whippoorwills and watch the fireflies
Wash ourselves in Carolina rain

They say money isn't everything
But it ain't a thing at all
Just a means to get what we need to survive
I don't care about it now
No pride, no fear, no fault
Just you and me in love again, alive

Let's go down to Mebbin Town
Where the flatlands start to rise
Cut a stalk of that sweet sorghum cane
Listen to the whippoorwills and watch the fireflies
Wash ourselves in Carolina rain
Wash ourselves in Carolina rain

Let's go down to Mebbin Town
Where the flatlands start to rise
Cut a stalk of that sweet sorghum cane
Listen to the whippoorwills and watch the fireflies
Wash ourselves in Carolina rain
Wash ourselves in Carolina rain
Wash ourselves in Carolina rain
