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 gona 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 & Diner" 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 gona 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 gona 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 gona 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
