作曲 : Johnson
He said, “
The storm is gettin' stronger”
As he climbed inside my truck
I'm headed back to 
CarolinaGod's willin' an' he learned
An' he told me how he'd left his family
So many years ago
An' he'd seen the whole world on the shoulders
But now it's time to go back home
An' he said, “
This road goes on forever
I've been travellin' all my life
An' I've seen the rain, 
I've felt the thunder
But it never changed my mind
I'm goin' back to 
Caroline”I dropped him off at the 
State line
An' then I thought about my life
An' everything 
I left behind me
Two children an' my wife
I left 'em waitin' for a phone call
An' that was twenty days ago
But now I'm in it for the long-haul
An' it's time to go back home
An' this damn road keeps gettin' longer
I've been travellin' it some time
An' I've seen the rain, 
I've felt the thunder roll on
But it never changed my mind
I'm goin' back to 
CarolineYeah, yeah, whoa, 
LordI'm going back to 
CarolineWhoa, oh
