She knows you're her dad 'cause she's heard about it
You never deny her, I tell her that it's true
She is the one that I painted powder blue
And I never wanna know

Sun blue Carolina, you're red
It's not to say your mother’s worth all the birth
If it hurts, even better
It's worse

How much more of your guts do you have to throw up
Until you're grown up?
Maybe he was right
Only children cry
Big girls don't say goodbye

Sun blue Carolina, you're red
It's not to say your mother's worth all the birth
If it hurts, even better
It's worse
