[Intro]
F G G
[Verse 1]
FBeen staring at my ceiling
GTrying to find a reason
GWhy picking up this guitar
GHas gotten to be so hard
FThere was a time the
FSound of these strings
GWould fix just about anything
GMaybe I was naive
GMaybe I was thirteen
F GWhen I sang... just to sing
GInstead of living large
GSometimes I’d rather be
[Chorus]
FCatching fireflies than love bugs
GTelling stories instead of lies
GSkipping stones instead of getting stoned
GTo try to find some peace of mind
FHopping ditches instead of planes
GPulling wagons instead of these chains
GSometimes instead of keeping this up
F G GI’d rather be somewhere, nowhere in Carolina
[Verse 2]
FWhen smokin’ and drinkin’
GWas just every other weekend
GSneaking out late at night
GToo young for the neon lights
FWhen the smell of wintergreen and cologne
GWas my uncle’s ‘79 bronco
GWhen the road was a friend
GI’d give anything
GTo live that again
GGotta get back to
F Gmaj7When I sang... just to sing
Gmaj7I thought it’d Do me good
Gmaj7To write a song just for me
Gmaj7So I’d rather be
[Chorus]
FCatching fireflies than love bugs
GTelling stories instead of lies
GSkipping stones instead of getting stoned
GTo try to find some peace of mind
FHopping ditches instead of planes
GPulling wagons instead of these chains
GSometimes instead of keeping this up
F Gmaj7I’d rather be somewhere, nowhere in Carolina
Gmaj7Carolina
[Bridge]
Fm Gmaj7Maybe this city is getting to my head
Gmaj7But I’ll confess, if the music’s dead
Gmaj7And home is all I’ll have left
FmIt’d be a pity
Gmaj7But I think I’d be just fine
Gmaj7I’d have a clear blue sky
Gmaj7And plenty of time
Gmaj7To hide and remember
F Gmaj7Why I sang... just to sing
C#mDreams would stay dreams
GBut at least I’d be
[Out-Chorus]
FCatching fireflies than love bugs
Gmaj7Telling stories instead of lies
Gmaj7Skipping stones instead of getting stoned
Gmaj7To try to find some peace of mind
FHopping ditches instead of planes
Gmaj7Pulling wagons instead of these chains
Gmaj7Sometimes instead of keeping this up
F Gmaj7 Gmaj7 FI’d rather be somewhere, nowhere in Carolinaaaaaaaaaa
