The Charlie Daniels Band - Carolina [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
The first things I remember
Are frosty Carolina mornings
With a cheery fire crackling
In my mommas big black wood cook stove
I remember snow flakes
As big as goose feathers
And the moon the colour of new
Made country butter and a night sky
Like diamonds against black velvet reaching
From horizon to horizon
I remember when the biggest problems
In my barefoot life were sand spurs and Red ant hills
I remember sitting with my grand-daddy
On the front porch and watching the last
Of that magnificent southern sun bleed away
Into the twilight sky
I remember Sunday school and kneeling at the cross
And trying to imagine what God looked like;
Sunday dinner, short pants, hair cuts and a little puppy my
Daddy brought home to me and I remember love
I remember steam puffing, fire breathing
Awesome 10 wheel locomotives and the
Conductor's watch looked
As big as one of my grandmothers biscuits
I remember my mother smiling
In a red and white chequered dress and Christmas
Always seemed so far away. Yes, I remember you Carolina
Grand old lady of the South
I remember you as home
One of the memories that stays on my mind
About an old southern lady that I left behind
Is a ramshackle bridge where the deep river winds
And an old two-lane blacktop through the tall long-leaf pines

[Chorus]
Carolina, Carolina
You're hard, but you're hard to forget

[Verse 2]
I still remember the magnolia nights
And goose feather snow flakes in the gray morning light;
Sand spurs and puppies and red autumn leaves
And the warm lights in the clear night on a cold Christmas Eve

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Carolina I knew you
Before the highways got to you
And I loved you as one of your own
And I still do

[Chorus]
