Baby where'd the time go? I feel it flyin' by
All that work I thought I had to do
But everything I could ever want, I see it in your eyes
All I really care about is you

Let's go down to Mebane Town
where the flatlands start to rise
Cut a stalk of that sweet sorghum-cane
Listen to the whippoorwills and watch the fireflies
Wash ourselves in Carolina rain

It's true that we were younger once
and now we're growing old
Maybe we don't want the things we wanted then
Why chase that dollar? My baby's got a hеart of gold
I know that we will find ourselves again

Lеt's go down to Mebane Town
where the flatlands start to rise
Cut a stalk of that sweet sorghum-cane
Listen to the whippoorwills and watch the fireflies
Wash ourselves in Carolina rain

They say money isn't everything, but it ain't a thing at all
Just a means to get what we need to survive
I don't care about it now, no pride, no fear, no fall
Just you and me in love again, alive

Let's go down to Mebane Town
where the flatlands start to rise
Cut a stalk of that sweet sorghum-cane
Listen to the whippoorwills and watch the fireflies
Wash ourselves in Carolina rain
Wash ourselves in Caroline rain

(Let's go down to Mebane Town) Oh
(Where the flatlands start to rise)
Wash ourselves in that sweet Carolina rain
(Cut a stalk of that sweet sorghum-cane) Oh
(Listen to the whippoorwills) Oh-ooh
(And watch the fireflies)
(Wash ourselves in Carolina rain)
(Wash ourselves in Carolina rain)
