And he grew about as crazy as the day he was born

Cause that crazy kid calls Carolina home

Well, he liked it plain, but she liked it sweet
        Db                   Db7
So they settled somewhere in between

      Bbm7
Met a grace as sweet as summer rain

If you live close by, you′ll hear James Taylor sing

But the people up here treat me nice
      Db                        Db7
And I can't drive far cause the roads are ice
