Caroline was born about a mile from the mississippi

Kinda like the kudzu, she grew up fast and pretty

A little bit of memphis, little bit of new york city

All the boys would come around, blocking up her daddy's driveway

But she could spot a come-on coming from a mile away

She hears them callin' but she ain't fallin'





She wants a love that's gonna last forever

She wants to stand where her feet don't touch the ground

She's holding out for a piece of heaven

She's gonna fly and she's never comin'down





She's waiting tables at her uncle joe's "bar & dinner"

And it was powerful stuff when he pulled up in a big freight liner

He lit a cigarette and when their eyes met

She knew that one day he'd carry her away





She wants a love that's gonna last forever

She wants to stand where her feet don't touch the ground

She's holding out for a piece of heaven

She's gonna fly and she's never comin'down





She wants a love that's gonna last forever

She wants to stand where her feet don't touch the ground

She's holding out for a piece of heaven

She's gonna fly and she's never comin'down





She wants a love that's gonna last forever

She wants to stand where her feet don't touch the ground

She's holding out for a piece of heaven

She's gonna fly and she's never comin'down





She's gonna fly

She's never comin' down

She's gonna fly

She's gonna fly

She's never comin' down

She's gonna fly

She's never comin' down
