Chill E Mammoth - Slow Down Carolina (Radio Edit)

One more night in Asheville
I got two more days to Manteo
Got a bottle of shine to kill
And a hundred more miles on 40 to go

Got too many strangers unfamiliar faces
Bringing about changes in a land I used to know
What happened to my old town road
The motel with the neon sign

Slow Down Carolina
Slow Down Caroline

I worked a week in Raleigh
I got a date in Wilmington
Half a bottle of shine to kill
And they laid a highway through my home

Got too many changes to my childhood places
These wide open spaces are now filled with plastic homes

What happened to my two lane road
The motel with the neon sign

Fields of tobacco to the left and to the right
Sandhills on fire and the Piedmont is on high
From the mountains to the ocean yeah the crystal coast is fine

Slow Down Carolina
Slow Down Caroline

I grew up in Morehead but my heart's in Emerald Isle
These fast food joints at every four points
I'll be damned if that's my style
And I won't be changing, not rearranging my slow paced life
For this 21st century speed of light

What happened to my old town road
The motel with the neon sign

Fields of tobacco to the left and to the right
The Sandhills on fire and the Piedmont is on high
From the mountains to the ocean yeah the crystal coast is fine

Slow Down Carolina
Slow Down Caroline
