Carolina Skeletons

[Verse 1] Cowboy Kate came too late She'll never see the dawn Cowboy Kate came too late She'll never face the sun [Pre-Chorus] The love goes by and the life runs dry Pulls the tinsel from her hair She loses sight in the velvet night Drops a tin can by the chair [Chorus] Through all the tiny victories and all the big defeats It's Carolina skeletons that keep her rooted to her seat [Verse 2] Cowboy Kate came too late She'll never read the signs Cowboy Kate came too late She'll never have the time [Pre-Chorus] The love goes by and the life runs dry Pulls the tinsel from her hair She dreams of flight in the velvet night Throws a tin can in the air [Chorus] Through all the tiny victories and all the big defeats It's Carolina skeletons that keep her rooted to her seat Through all the shitty obstacles and all the words so sweet It's Carolina skeletons that make her stranger when she eats [Outro] Carolina, Carolina
