Carolina Man - Chairmen of the Board

 

Carolina Man (Written by General Johnson)

C-A-R-O-L-I-N-A M-A-N Carolina Man!

I'm a Carolina man with my Carolina girls
Livin' the good life in a Carolina World
Everyday people, my downhome friends
We live and breathe Carolina
I'm a Carolina Man

A little money in my pocket
A beer in my hand
Don't take much to satisfy a satisfied man
I got the mountains in the winter
The beach in the summertime
I love Carolina
I'm so glad this land is mine

I'm a Carolina man with my Carolina girls
Livin' the good life in a Carolina World
Everyday people, my downhome friends
We live and breathe Carolina
I'm a Carolina Man

Slow and easy
Thats the downhome way
We got a whole lot of livin' to do
Can't do it all in  one day
So don't come down here complainin'
about the way Carolina is
Love it or leave it
We love it just the way it is!

I'm a Carolina man with those Carolina girls
Livin' the good life in a Carolina World
Everyday people, my downhome friends
We live and breathe Carolina
I'm a Carolina Man

No doubt about it
When I'm dead and gone
Bury me where I want to be
Carolina is my home

I'm a Carolina man with those Carolina girls
Livin' the good life in a Carolina World
Everyday people, my downhome friends
We live and breathe Carolina
I'm a Carolina Man

C-A-R-O-L-I-N-A M-A-N Carolina Man!
C-A-R-O-L-I-N-A M-A-N Carolina Man!

I'm a Carolina man with those Carolina girls
Livin' the good life in a Carolina World
Everyday people, my downhome friends
We live and breathe Carolina
I'm a Carolina Man

I'm a Carolina man with my Carolina girls
Livin' the good life in my Carolina World
Everyday people, my downhome friends
We live and breathe Carolina
I'm a Carolina Man
