Papa was raised up on Durham dairy farm
Raised up tough and right, raised up farm strong
He worked a fillin' station back from overseas
Mama rolls in, she got him weak in the knees
With looks like Elvis and a razor's wit, it's true
He's a Carolina boy, his heart and eye's true blue
Mama was born in a cotton mill town
Mama met Pa and they started messin' around
My brother, sis and I, the seeds they did sew
Thank God for joining these two Carolina souls
With a sweet smile and her southern charms, it's true
She's a Carolina gal, her heart and eyes true blue
Whoa-oh Yeah Whoa-oh Yeah
And even though I'm a rock that rolls
You know I'll always be a Carolina soul
Papa's wishing well still sits out in the yard
And parts of our lives collect dust out in the barn
I can feel them now as I walk this ground
Their love and life energy, it's all still around
With looks like Elvis and a razor's wit, it's true
He's a Carolina soul, his heart and eyes true blue
Whoa-oh Yeah Whoa-oh Yeah
A whole lotta heart and a little bit outta control
No matter where I go, I'll always be a Carolina soul
