Verse 1
D G D
Well I went down to Houston and I stopped in San Antone

I passed up the station for the bus
G D Bm A G
Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
D A D
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust
Verse 2 (same chords):
So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane
Bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
I was spendin' money like the way it likes to rain
Man I ended up with pockets full of cane

Oh my swe-eet Carolina, what compels me to go

Oh my swe-eet disposition, may you one day carry me home

Up here in the city, it feels like things are closin' in
The sunset's just my light bulb burning out
