Carolina Angel

I want to tell you about a lady I know
I love her a lot though it don’t always show
I don’t always tell her how much I care
But if she ever needs me, you know I’ll be there

Chorus:
She’s my Carolina angel, my Palmetto friend
Even more today than she has always been
When I’m feeling down she always picks me up
I’d be lost in this world without my mother’s love

There have been so many times I’ve let her down
Out chasing trouble on the bad side of town
When I got turned around she pulled me through
I said “God blessed me the day I was born to you”

Chorus:
She’s my Carolina angel, my Palmetto friend
Even more today than she has always been
When I’m feeling down she always picks me up
I’d be lost in this world without my mother’s love

She’s been right there beside me right from the start
Band-Aids for a knee, words for a broken heart
She’s my soul supporter, my warm sunshine
When I’m feeling unsettled, she can ease my mind

Bridge:
If I was a rich man
With a big bankroll
I’d build her a mansion
Made of silver and gold

Chorus:
She’s my Carolina angel, my Palmetto friend
Even more today than she has always been
When I’m feeling down she always picks me up
I’d be lost in this world without my mother’s love
