Carolina Peaches by This Frontier Needs Heroes

I left New York for the summer farming was the life for me
The sweltering smell of pine trees had me on my knees
My girl and I just broke up so I said you know what
Well harvesting busted my butt boy did I mess up
Did I miss up?

All was well or so I thought in Carolina I trust
Got caught up in Columbia when they put me on that bus
My harp was stuffed and my wallet too with my grandma’s love
Don’t you know it happened to me Trouble with the you know what

Carolina Peaches Why are you so sweet?
Just like Georgia’s on TV
When it's time to eat nothing can beat
Justice rolling down like a stream, down like a stream

When I got to the station you weren’t there to pick me up
It wasn’t how I pictured it and I felt kinda dumb
So I called you on a payphone convinced you It’d be fun
I don’t remember what I said good thing that both of us were young

Went past the Chattahoochee up the river to the gorge
I came for a picnic stayed on a hunch that this was more than lunch
When I saw you in that swimsuit I knew that it was love
Tom Petty was blazing in the background and you were driving a truck

Carolina Peaches Why are you so sweet?
Just like Georgia’s on TV
When it's time to eat nothing can beat
Justice rolling down like a stream, down like a stream

The falls were so beautiful and something you said too
I know that we are a fragile and easily bruised
Our love is like a juicy peach in the Carolina heat
And sometimes I wonder if she misses me.

I want to live 1000 lives, but where do I want to die?
Somewhere where the peaches are falling from the sky
When I got back on that train lord I knew I wanted to cry
Was that my biggest mistake I guess i’ll always wonder why
