Coast of carolina de Jimmy Buffett

Little roadside restaurant we artfully complain
groovy tells the waitress that his chicken died in vain
most every day goes by according to design
i live this dream but still it seems i have you on my mind
From the bottom of my heart
off the coast of carolina
after one or two false starts
i believe we found our stride
and the walls that won’t come down
we can decorate or climb or find some way to get around
cause i’m still on your side
from the bottom of my heart
I can’t see the future but i know it’s comin’ fast
it’s not that hard to wind up knee deep in the past
it’s come a lot of mondays
since the phone booth that first night
through years and miles and tears and smiles
i want to get it right
Chorus
From the bottom of my heart
off the coast of carolina
after one or two false starts
i believe we found our stride
and the walls that won’t come down
we can decorate or climb or find some way to get around
cause i’m still on your side
from the bottom of my heart
Instrumental bridge
These days i’m up about the time i used to go to bed
living large was once the deal, now i watch the stars instead
they are timeless and predictable unlike most things that i do
but i tell the wind and my old friend i’m headed home to you
Chorus
From the bottom of my heart
off the coast of carolina
after one or two false starts
i believe we found our stride
and the walls that won’t come down
hell we can decorate or climb or find some way to get around
cause i’m still on your side
from the bottom of my heart
from the bottom of my heart
