We met on The Carolinian - heading south from D.C. It's as if God himself had picked out our seats She smiled and said ?Richmond? when I asked where she was bound I began to wish my life away to have been born in that town We talked a little bit and then she smiled, I saw down in her eyes She wasn't just beautiful, she was kind and she was wise But a woman down in Raleigh, would soon have my son So I waited for her station like the bullet from a gun She's in Richmond with my heart - And I'm bound for Carolina Wish I'd never met this train or the girl that's left behind her When the train reached the station, she looked me in the eye Said, ?Come with me to Richmond and we'll start a brand new life? Well you know that moment still weighs on my mind 'Cause I took my body to Raleigh, and left my heart behind She's in Richmond with my heart - And I'm bound for Carolina Wish I'd never met this train or the girl that's left behind her- now we're apart While I'm bound for Caroline - she's in Richmond with my heart My son is grown up to my hand, and he fills me with pride I take him down to the station to watch the trains roll by But that northbound Carolinian always makes the teardrops start SongtexteCause its headed up to Virginia where I left my heart She's in Richmond with my heart - And I'm bound for Carolina Wish I'd never met this train or the girl that's left behind her- now we're apart While I'm down in Caroline - she's in Richmond with my heart I'm still down in Caroline, she's in Richmond with my heart Aus Songtexte Mania
