“There's something in the way she eases my mind
And lays me across the bed till I close my eyes.
Stirs me in the morning till I can't ever be satisfied.
I leave Carolina every night in my dreams,
Like the girls that try to love me that I only leave.
Rock me like a baby doll and hold me to your chest,
But I'm always moving too fast.”

You haven't heard my band yet
You haven't seen my house
You cannot understand yet
What it means to be old

River deep
River come, So I can sing you to sleep.”
