Statesville Songtext

i stopped in statesville for you when i could've driven straight though
but the call from the exit was loud and i gave in too proud to be scared by the boo
i stopped in statesville for you

where they tore down the high school last year and the line between fiction and fact isn't clear
someone told me old dooley was hung on the hill you can't always believe what you hear
they tore down the high school last year

i've always had reason to roam if we'd ever met then you would've known
but my plan for this trip was in three; stand up, smile and leave carolina alone
