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
