Marshall Tucker Band "Carolina Sunset" I love a Carolina sunset That's one thing a man will never forget It brings heaven a little bit closer to Earth ---------------------------- Methamphetamine Son Volt Lyrics I took a night shift, another nickel on the dime Try to play it straight and make it different this time Still waiting to meet the next ex-wife It's either watching these gauges for Monsanto Or a bar-back job for the casino The Army won't want me after what this body's been through Would you take me back North Carolina? Would you take me back Arkansas? Blissful days still there to remember Methamphetamine was the final straw
People have mentioned "oh my sweet Carolina" and "Carolina Rain" but going back to his Whiskeytown days...
"I eat my breakfast right here in California, get my dinner in Caroline..." That's a line from one version of Brownie McGhee's "Key To The Highway" (Brownie frequently changed the lyrics and mentioned other cities locations instead of California and Carolina.)
"Christmas in Dixie" by Alabama: From Jackson, Mississippi To Charlotte, Caroline And all across the nation It's a peaceful Christmas time
Funny that one of the examples I thought of is the very last post before mine. Oh well, there's this one too: Left my home in Norfolk Virginia California on my mind Straddled that Greyhound and rode him into Raleigh And on across Caroline.
James Dean in that Mercury '49 Junior Johnson runnin' through the woods of Caroline Even Burt Reynolds in that black Trans Am All gonna meet down at the Cadillac Ranch Brooooce!!!
Blind man wavin' by the side of the road In a flatbed Ford carryin' a heavy load Sweet thing sipping on blueberry wine On a flat black highway down in Caroline Black bird slipping in a sky of blue.... All I'm thinkin' about is you, baby All I'm thinkin' about is you Brooooce!!!

Both in the same song! And it's a good one, "Carolina Caroline" by Jonathan Edwards from his album "Sailboat".
