I fell asleep in Carolina And I woke up a better man I feel asleep in Carolina And I will do the best I can Carolina love Make you wanna feel Make you wanna dance Like it's all surreal Drunk off a summer night Warm to the skin I lost my mind Queen City took me in Had a tendency Just to let it go Never thought much about The consequences though I guess you never do When you're on the road But Carolina showed Me I could feel home I fell asleep in Carolina And I woke up a better man I feel asleep in Carolina And I will do the best I can Just a California kid Who loves to go down south Myrtle Beach spring break Chapel Hill now Triangle to the Triad I had some of the best nights I never called my bad Have you ever done something That you swore was a dream So good one night But you can't believe Did happen or your mind conceive I'll be back Carolina Don't forget about me Morning could wait I fall to pieces I don't care I'm on my way Leaving for reasons But I'll be there I'll be there I fell asleep in Carolina And I woke up a better man I feel asleep in Carolina And I will do the best I can I'm a mess I'm alive What I did in the night Just to live with the thought Makes it real I'm real Life in this state Makes the mind try to take Me away and erase What I feel It's real I fell asleep in Carolina And I woke up a better man I feel asleep in Carolina And I will do the best I can I fell asleep I fell asleep I fell asleep I fell asleep I fell asleep I fell asleep I fell asleep in Carolina And I woke up a better man
