Best Of Vince Gill

Sunrise through the evergreens
Another day is born
The hills take on a golden glow
A carolina morn

I used to see you in her eyes
Now i just got to know
Oh carolina, how could you let her go

Chorus:
Oh carolina, if i'd only known
Oh carolina, i would have never gone

I thought the beauty of your hills
Would hold her here for me
I never dreamed while i was gone
You'd ever set her free
I trusted you with all my heart
And the only love i've known
Oh carolina, how could you let her go

Repeat chorus x 2

I would have never gone

I'm gonna tell you right up front
So you will understand
I ain't gonna waste your time
'cause i might not be your man
We won't go makin' promises
'cause you know it just ain't right
A promise is a promise, girl
And tonight is just tonight
Tonight is just tonight

Chorus:
Don't say that you love me
If it don't feel right
Don't say that you love me
Just hold me tonight

There ain't no need for broken hearts
I know in time they mend
Any fool can fall in love
It's so easy to pretend
Don't tell me i'm the only one
If it doesn't mean a thing
Let's take tonight for what it's worth
And see what tomorrow brings
And see what tomorrow brings

Chorus (to fade)

Ther's a redhead from my hometown that loves to let her hair down
She tears my heart out when she starts to sing
She's from the right side of red river and she's pretty as a picture
Don't you know she's this ole cowboy's dream

There's a boy from okie city and i sure think he's pretty
But i know he's trying to steal my heart away
Oh my mama tried to warn me he's done time in california
But he'll be an okie til his dyin' day

There's a dance we do in oklahoma
A dnace like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
How to do that oklahoma swing

Well when two okies get together man there's nothin' they like better
Than to hold each other on a dawdust floor
Oh i love it when we're swayin' to those sweet twi fiddles playin'
Come on boy what are we waitin' for

There's a dance we do in oklahoma
A dnace like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
How to do that oklahoma swing

Yeah there's a dance we do in oklahoma
A dnace like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
Yeah how to do that oklahoma swing
How to do that oklahoma swing

When i told my baby
Do what you wanna do
Well i had no idea
Just what she'd put me through

Every night she's runnin' 'round
Singin' songs in your hometown
There ain't no one to love me
When the sun goes down

Chorus:
Well, she's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
I shoulda kept her barefoot
Barefoot and pregnant all the time
I used to be the first in line
Now i've fallen way behind
She's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine

All that country club money
Lord it sure looked good to me... yeah it did
Playin' golf with those fat cats
How much better could life be
They all think i've got it made
They see your face on every page
Of every magazine
Across the usa

Chorus

If you see her tell her hi
And everything will be all right
Tell her that i love her
'til the day i die

Chorus

Come on home
