Verse 1:
   D                         G               D
I went down to Houston and I stopped in San Antone
   D                           A
I passed up the station for the bus
   Bm?                      G            Bm            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
I 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

Chorus:
Bm       G       D     Bm      G         A
Oh my Sweet Carolina, what compels me to go
Bm       G       D       Bm      A              G
Oh my sweet disposition, May you one day carry me home.

Verse 3:
I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled all my life
Building newsprint boats I raced in sewer mains
Trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
Funny how they say that some things never change

(repeat chorus)

Verse 4:
Up here in the city, it feels like things are closin' in
The sunset's just my light bulb burning out
I miss Kentucky and I miss my family
All the sweetest winds they blow across the south

(repeat chorus)
