Caroline was born about a mile from the mississippi
Kinda like the kudzu, she grew up fast and pretty
A little bit of memphis, little bit of new york city
All the boys would come around, blocking up her daddy's driveway
But she could spot a come-on coming from a mile away
She hears them callin' but she ain't fallin'


She wants a love that's gonna last forever
She wants to stand where her feet don't touch the ground
She's holding out for a piece of heaven
She's gonna fly and she's never comin'down


She's waiting tables at her uncle joe's "bar & dinner"
And it was powerful stuff when he pulled up in a big freight liner
He lit a cigarette and when their eyes met
She knew that one day he'd carry her away


She wants a love that's gonna last forever
She wants to stand where her feet don't touch the ground
She's holding out for a piece of heaven
She's gonna fly and she's never comin'down


She wants a love that's gonna last forever
She wants to stand where her feet don't touch the ground
She's holding out for a piece of heaven
She's gonna fly and she's never comin'down


She wants a love that's gonna last forever
She wants to stand where her feet don't touch the ground
She's holding out for a piece of heaven
She's gonna fly and she's never comin'down


She's gonna fly
She's never comin' down
She's gonna fly
She's gonna fly
She's never comin' down
She's gonna fly
She's never comin' down
